Liverpool fans prefer Szoboszlai’s free-kicks over Trent-Alexander Arnold after training stunner
Liverpool supporters are buzzing with anticipation as they eagerly call for Dominik Szoboszlai, the club’s new signing, to take charge of free-kick duties in the upcoming season. The Hungarian captain recently joined the Reds from RB Leipzig after Liverpool activated his £60 million release clause, making him a perfect fit for Jurgen Klopp’s high-energy, heavy-metal style of football.
During the grueling pre-season lactate test, a test known for gauging running and fitness levels, Szoboszlai left his mark by emerging victorious alongside Mo Salah, outshining the previous record-holder, James Milner, who has since moved on to Brighton.
However, Szoboszlai’s talents aren’t limited to running alone. In a recent training session, he displayed his exceptional technique with a jaw-dropping free-kick that left his new teammate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, amazed. The 22-year-old’s powerful and precisely placed strike sailed effortlessly into the top corner, leaving no doubt among onlookers that he possesses an incredible set-piece prowess.
The training clip caught the attention not only of Cody Gakpo but also of the Liverpool faithful, who now believe it’s time for Alexander-Arnold to make way for Szoboszlai when it comes to free-kicks. Social media erupted with fans voicing their support for the young Hungarian, expressing their eagerness to see him take charge of dead-ball situations next season.
One fan wrote, “Trent, I love you, but I’m afraid you are gonna have to cough up the FKs, this guy’s a joke.” Another added, “Might be over for Trent, you know. If it isn’t Salah rolling it back to him, I want Szoboszlai or Mac Allister taking free kicks.”
A chorus of supporters concurred, “Yeah, no, Trent lad, I’m sorry, you ain’t on free kicks anymore,” and “Tears, we finally have a free-kick master, Trent’s great but I can see Szob scoring 3/4 a season.”
With Szoboszlai’s impressive record as a penalty taker, having only missed one out of 16 attempts, fans are further convinced of his capabilities from dead-ball situations. His preferred direction to the goalkeeper’s right has left opposing teams helpless time and again, showcasing his composure and accuracy under pressure.
As the anticipation builds, Liverpool fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming season, hopeful to witness Szoboszlai’s free-kick and penalty-taking prowess shine brightly on the pitch, adding a new dimension to their already formidable squad.
