Rio Ferdinand has claimed the Liverpool man may have been overextended with his performances since joining the club.
The Reds spent £60m on Dominick Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig last summer (BBC Sport) and the general consensus is that the 23-year-old has been a success at Anfield. He’s scored plenty of goals and shown us a dynamic midfielder that has drawn comparisons to Steven Gerrard, but the Hungarian seems undeterred. Ferdinand said of Liverpool’s number eight on his YouTube channel: “Everyone praises him.
I think he’s a good player but everyone praises him like he’s the next Gerrard. I haven’t seen it yet. I saw it in the comments; “One of the friends in our group always says that.”Of course, there is still a long way to go before Szoboszlai can carry on Gerrard’s legacy, but comparing him to our legendary former captain is an indicator of how good the Hungary captain has been in his first six months. club.
Critics like Ferdinand will have short memories of Liverpool facing a lifeless and lethargic midfield team this time last year. Recruits like the 23-year-old have completely changed the narrative in a relatively short period of time.
Of course, eight goals in 26 games for the Reds shows room for improvement, but it’s scary to think how high the ceiling will be if he starts finding goals regularly and maintains the level he has shown so far at Anfield. . It was doable.
