Dominik Szoboszlai wants Liverpool to demonstrate their true capabilities when they play Tottenham Hotspur.
The Reds are back in Premier League action on Sunday afternoon as they welcome Spurs to Anfield.
Szoboszlai and his teammates have an opportunity to bounce back from their defeat at Galatasaray in the Champions League.
Szoboszlai’s Reaction to Galatasaray Defeat
“I was pretty angry after the game because of the result but not only about that,” Szoboszlai told Liverpoolfc.com. “Because I feel that we didn’t play in a way like we should and we can.”
He believes the team is capable of competing against any team in the league or in European football, referencing the numerous times they have shown their ability.
“We have to really focus on the upcoming games because now it’s Tottenham on Sunday and next week on Wednesday is going to be a big game – I can’t wait for it.”
Liverpool’s Champions League Ambitions
Tottenham arrive on Merseyside seeking vital points as they look to maintain their top-flight status.
Liverpool also have ambitions as they look to ensure Champions League football will be played at L4 next season.
Szoboszlai stated he is not thinking about Tottenham, instead focusing on Liverpool’s aims. He said they have things to fight for, with a Champions League spot up for grabs.
“But first of all, we have to focus on ourselves and do the right stuff, do the right things and then everything is going to be all right.”
Anfield Support Vital for Liverpool
Liverpool are back at Anfield following three consecutive matches on the road.
Szoboszlai believes the Anfield crowd can give them a huge advantage.
“It’s a huge difference. We need them on Sunday, for sure,” Szoboszlai said. “Everybody who is able to come should come.”
He emphasised the importance of a loud and supportive home crowd, especially in the upcoming game next week on Wednesday.
“We felt in Istanbul how it is to play in such a loud stadium with such great fans, but I think we can show the same at home. We’re going to need each of them.”
Being encouraged by nearly 60,000 Reds is an advantage Arne Slot’s men are keen to make the most of.
