The Hungarian midfielder's comments come in the wake of a damaging 2-1 defeat to fierce rivals Manchester United, a result that has left the Reds' hopes of securing Champions League football for next season hanging in the balance.\n\nThe loss at Old Trafford was a significant setback, ending a run of three consecutive Premier League victories. With just three matches remaining in the campaign, Liverpool finds itself in a precarious position, needing to navigate a tricky final stretch to guarantee a place at Europe's top table. The pressure on Slot, in only his second season at the helm after his celebrated move from Feyenoord, has inevitably intensified.\n\nHowever, speaking to The Daily Mail, Szoboszlai was unequivocal in his support for the Dutch tactician. 'That is not even a question,' he stated when asked about the players' faith in their manager. 'He is our manager and we are only in his second season. You must not forget that we won the Premier League with him last season.' This reference to last year's title triumph serves as a powerful reminder of the success Slot has already delivered, a feat that has perhaps been overshadowed by this season's more inconsistent form.\n\nThe midfielder's words are a clear attempt to draw a line under the swirling rumors and refocus the squad's energy on the immediate task at hand. 'There will always be rumors,' Szoboszlai acknowledged, 'but he, and with him the players and staff, has shown that he can win the Premier League. Now we have to keep working hard and try again next season.' This sentiment underscores a collective determination to finish the current campaign strongly before planning for the future.\n\nThe context of Liverpool's season is crucial. After the euphoria of last season's league title, the current campaign has been one of adjustment and, at times, frustration. The defeat to Manchester United was particularly stinging, not just for the rivalry, but for what it represented in the league table. Champions League qualification is not merely a sporting ambition; it is a financial and reputational imperative for a club of Liverpool's stature.\n\nSzoboszlai's own season has been a microcosm of the team's journey. The 23-year-old, who has been deployed in various roles including an unfamiliar right-back position at times, reflected on his personal growth. 'Last season I was a bit too much in the shadows. I did everything for the team, as I do now, but then I lost myself a bit. I don't have that this season,' he explained. 'I'm basically doing the same as last season, but also the things I'm good at.' This increased sense of personal agency and confidence is something he hopes to translate into collective results.\n\nThe tactical flexibility demanded of him highlights the challenges Slot has faced in building a consistently dominant side this term. Injuries and form have necessitated changes, and players like Szoboszlai have had to adapt. His public backing of the manager's methods, therefore, carries significant weight, coming from a player who has been asked to sacrifice for the team's shape.\n\nLooking ahead, the equation is simple yet daunting. Liverpool's next fixture is a home match against Chelsea this Saturday. A victory would go a long way toward securing that coveted top-four finish. 'That's what we need to focus on now,' Szoboszlai said. 'Hopefully we can do it on Saturday and then we can look to the future.' This future, he hopes, will include another shot at the Premier League title under Slot's guidance.\n\nThe coming weeks will define Liverpool's season. Will it be remembered as a disappointing follow-up to a championship year, or as a campaign where the team showed resilience to secure its primary objective? The players, led by voices like Szoboszlai's, are betting on the latter. Their faith in Arne Slot, forged in the heat of a title race, remains unshaken. The final three games are not just about points; they are about affirming that belief and setting the stage for the next chapter.\n\nBased on reporting from Voetbal International.","news","Dominik Szoboszlai dismisses rumors of lost confidence in manager Arne Slot, citing last season's Premier League title.
