Arne Slot has come under a great deal of pressure this season, from pundits and fans alike. Liverpool have been poor and questions are being asked of the Dutchman.
One shining light this term has been Dominik Szoboszlai. The Hungarian midfielder has stepped up when those around him haven’t on several occasions this season. He’s scored some important goals and driven the team when heads have been down.
When asked by The Daily Mail’s Oliver Holt about whether Slot is the man for the job, Szoboszlai was full of support.
“He’s our manager, and we are in his second season,” he said. “In his first season, don’t forget, we won the Premier League. So no one lost faith in him from our side.
“Rumours come and go but he proved that he’s able to win the Premier League and we proved it as a team, as a staff, as a club that we are able to win the Premier League. So now we just have to keep on working and give it a try next year as well.
“It’s not my job to tell you what has gone wrong or what is right. That’s why we have a manager, we have a staff behind him, to find out how we can get out of here and tell the players what we have to do to go in a different way.
“We are trying to build a new team because a couple of guys left and we got a couple of new guys. So I think we have to take this season as a time to rebuild’
“For next season, I don’t like to give hopes. I just think about the next three games right now, because that’s the most important. We didn’t qualify for the Champions League yet, and that’s what we have to do on Saturday, hopefully.
“And then from there, if the season is over, we have to think how it goes in the future.”
