“I think the two games [so far] were maybe a little bit different than the game that’s going to be played in Chicago [versus Leeds] because obviously we have Ryan [Gravenberch], Flo [Wirtz] and Alex [Isak] back, who played a big role last season as well and the season before, I mean Ryan.
“I’m looking forward to it and hopefully we can be even better than the last two games.”
Asked by the press about agreeing fresh terms to remain with the Reds, the No.8 replied: “I’m very happy. I said it before.
“Actually, it was a long way until we got over the line but I’m happy to sign a new deal. Hopefully I can stay as long as both sides want and win everything that is possible, as I said when I signed here first.
“I’m saying the same things [when] I signed now. I want to win everything that is possible, achieve big things and just be there for the club.”
A new phase has begun, of course, following the appointment of Iraola as Liverpool’s head coach ahead of 2026-27.
Change within the squad, too, and Szoboszlai – entering his fourth campaign at the Reds – is eager and ready to take greater personal responsibility.
