The Hungarian captain continues to prove his quality and has set a new record

A Liverpool untapped Hungarian national team midfielder from the starting eleven, Dominik Szoboszlai has been on the pitch from start to finish in all five Premier League games so far. The 22-year-old's task is not an easy one from the point of view of the fan favourite, who left for Saudi Arabia's Al-Ettifaq in the summer after 12 years. Jordan Henderson He has to replace him, but so far our compatriot is doing very well and many people already believe that progress has been made with the replacement of Henderson Szoboszlai.

 

FotMob draws attention to an absolutely astonishing statistic: Szoboszlai has played 50 duels in his first five tournaments, 30 more than Henderson had in his first five starts last season. Szoboszlai won 24 of 50 duels, or 48%, while Henderson was more successful, winning 11 of his 20 attempts, or 55%. However, the sheer number of duels played by Szoboszlai also shows the serious impact the Hungarian player has had on the Reds' ability to once again increase the intensity of their play, something that had been sorely lacking in previous years.

 

This is the words of Jesse Marsch, his former coach at Salzburg and Leizpig, who also coached the Norwegian. He was in charge of the set-pieces in his teams, a very technical player and a very skilful dribbler. His good leg is his right foot: "In terms of talent, there are not many better players who can play in his position. Some are strong, some are technical, some are good tactically or defend well and run a lot. However, Dominik is special because he has all these skills combined, he is as talented as Erling Haaland".

 

<strong>He is the fastest</strong>

For example, Szoboszlai played a staggering 20 games, the same as Henderson did last season against Fulham, Manchester United, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Brighton in the 2-1 win over Newcastle alone. First five games. Dominik Szoboszlai became the 2nd fastest player in Premier League history against Wolves, recording a top speed of 36.76 km/h.
