Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai has revealed the club was carrying players in recent seasons.

The summer signing has taken a swipe at former Reds players who were satisfied sitting on the bench.

"Everyone wants to get into the starting XI, that's normal and that's how it should be, the goal in every team," he said on the Hungarian podcast Premier Leak.

"Who is satisfied with sitting on the bench? I'm going to be honest, there are a few. Actually before I came here there were some [at Liverpool] as well.

"I won't name names, but I heard about it. Personally, I want to play in every game, even if I'm a bit tired.

"Anything, whether it's the FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League, Premier League, national team, anything."

He added, "I'm in a good condition when I'm constantly needed. I'm in the best condition when I can play on Thursday and Sunday.

"Because then there's no training, recovery, concentration, match, recovery, match, and this goes on and on, and this is perfect for me."
