Mohamed Salah told Dominik Szoboszlai off for playing football in the gym during Liverpool training yesterday.
Szoboszlai has had a fantastic week. He played a big part in the Reds 3-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday, before truly announcing himself to English football with a screamer against Leicester City on Wednesday.
But, judging from a clip posted on Liverpool’s official Twitter account yesterday, not exactly everything is going the Hungarian’s way.
The clip in itself is incredibly impressive, actually. Szoboszlai and Trent Alexander-Arnold appear to have struck up an immediate connection over the past few months, and their chemistry is on full display here as they ping a ball at each other in the Liverpool gym.
It’s great to watch, but not everyone was happy. “Dominik, you play football outside!” Salah could be heard jokingly yelling at the Reds’ No.8. “This is inside, guys!” Don’t mess with Mo’s gym time!
Salah tells Szoboszlai off
After the dismal lows and the terrible mood around last season, things have completely changed at Liverpool now.
Where last year there was a sluggishness surrounding the whole club, everything feels much lighter, much happier this time around.
Obviously, good results help with that and Liverpool have started the season amazingly in that respect.
But it also just goes to show the influence bringing in a player like Szoboszlai can have. The 22-year-old isn’t the only one responsible for this, but he has clearly helped revitalise the likes of Alexander-Arnold and Salah.
With players seemingly unable to wipe the smiles from their faces this season, that’s going to take Liverpool a long way.
Just as it was when the Reds were at their best under Jurgen Klopp, there’s a perfect harmony within the squad.
That will remain long as Szoboszlai takes Salah’s advice on board of course! Don’t upset the king, Dom!
