Dominik Szoboszlai has described a series of frank dressing-room discussions as Liverpool chase an immediate response to a run of defeats ahead of Wednesday\u2019s Champions League meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/p>\n
The Hungary midfielder said the squad have met repeatedly to find a way out of their current slump and stressed the need for togetherness. \u201cIt never happened in my career but in a lot of guys\u2019 career they lost four in a row,\u201d Szoboszlai reflected. \u201cWe have to stick together, that\u2019s important.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a lot of meetings, we spoke with each other and the most important thing is we stay together. It is the most important thing when it is a hard time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are ready to show a reaction and that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do. This will turn. If you work hard and keep going the luck will go on your side.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fixture promises to be testing. Dino Toppm\u00f6ller\u2019s side are described in the Liverpool briefing as one of Europe\u2019s most chaotic, their seven Bundesliga games producing 37 goals in total\u201419 scored and 18 conceded.<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s current sequence includes a Champions League defeat to Galatasaray, the second loss in the run, which left Arne Slot\u2019s side with just three points from their opening two games of the league phase. Szoboszlai made clear the immediate priority is to claim three points but also to rekindle the attacking character that has defined the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom two games, we won only one and lost another one so we have to take the three points for sure,\u201d he said. \u201cBut most important we have to show the character we have, what Liverpool can do and what we are able to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe showed it last season becoming champions and now everyone is ready for us but that\u2019s a good thing, you have to take it as a positive and be ready for them.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me this Champions League campaign is something special as the final is in Budapest. But it is a long journey so we have a lot things to do, to learn and change and just focus on ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool will be without Ryan Gravenberch for the game because of an ankle injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
