Szoboszlai Reveals Secret Understanding With Mac Allister as Liverpool Midfield Partnership Explodes
Dominik Szoboszlai has revealed that he has developed an almost instinctive understanding with Alexis Mac Allister — and Liverpool supporters are already seeing the benefits.
The pair both scored during Liverpool’s 2-1 Champions League comeback victory over Atlético Madrid at Anfield.
Szoboszlai equalised before Mac Allister produced the winning strike, giving new manager Andoni Iraola an important European victory.
But their partnership goes beyond goals.
Szoboszlai explained that he and Mac Allister often understand exactly what the other wants to do without needing to communicate verbally.
That chemistry could become increasingly important for Liverpool this season.
Interestingly, the revelation comes at a time when Mac Allister’s Liverpool future has become uncertain.
The Argentina international recently admitted his disappointment after the club indicated it was not currently in a position to offer him a new contract.
Yet despite the frustration, Mac Allister responded brilliantly on the pitch.
Szoboszlai, meanwhile, signed a new long-term contract during the summer.
Liverpool now have a midfield partnership that is producing both creativity and goals.
The biggest question is whether the club can keep the pair together for the long term.
For now, however, the message from Szoboszlai is clear.
Liverpool’s midfield may have discovered something special.
