Hungary boss Marco Rossi has taken aim at Arne Slot for pushing international managers to rest his Liverpool players during the current set of fixtures.<\/p>\n
Dominik Szoboszlai has been one of the Reds\u2019 standout performers this season with the Hungarian finding himself playing multiple positions, including right-back.<\/p>\n
Liverpool<\/a> have played lots of games in quick succession over the past few months and Slot called on national team managers to try to give some of his players a rest.<\/p>\n Slot told BBC Sport: \u201cI think the players need a break more than the manager and unfortunately they have to keep on playing.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s hope that their national team coaches do understand that at Liverpool a lot of players have played a lot of minutes. But I think other clubs perhaps could have rotated more than I could have this season.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, let\u2019s hope that we\u2019ve got national team coaches that will not play them 180 minutes over two games.\u201d<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0The Famous F365 Friday Quiz: Salah and the 19 other greatest Prem goalscorers<\/a><\/p>\n Szoboszlai was called up to Hungary\u2019s squad for their friendlies against Slovenia, which is happening on Saturday evening, and Greece, while also being joined by Liverpool team-mate Milos Kerkez.<\/p>\n And Hungary boss Rossi was frustrated by Slot\u2019s comments about resting international players, including Szoboszlai, over the next week.<\/p>\n Rossi said via Hungarian newspaper Magyar Hirlap<\/a>: \u201cPersonally, I have never spoken to Slot, and I have never had any say in when and what decision he makes, when he will play Dominik as a full-back.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I would also expect him not to interfere in my work.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is not just me who decides this, I am not obliged to play anyone.<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 \u201cIf Dominik said he would like to rest, of course I would allow him. But we know that he is the captain of this national team, the national jersey is his priority.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we had to save his energy, whether it was for him or anyone else, he could do it.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, for us, the national team is the priority, now it is about playing good games.\u201d<\/p>\n Liverpool boss Slot knows how important Szoboszlai is to the club\u2019s success this season and praised him in February for being \u201cclose to ridiculous, on and off the ball\u201d.<\/p>\n Slot said: \u201cI cannot stop talking about his qualities.<\/p>\n \u201cClose to ridiculous, on and off the ball, work-rate another level, the intensity, he presses, unbelievable, technique, game insight, offensive midfielder, right-back, right winger, all these qualities in these positions, he has been vital for us this and last season. He will continue to be that for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hungary boss Marco Rossi has taken aim at Arne Slot for pushing international managers to rest his Liverpool…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-500141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
