Dominik Szoboszlai has detailed the first conversation he had with manager Jurgen Klopp as a Liverpool player.

The Hungary captain admits he felt immediately inspired after speaking with Klopp.

"He's quite a unique guy," said Szoboszlai in the Liverpool match programme. "We had spoken before after some games when Salzburg and Leipzig played against Liverpool but not that closely. And now it was weird because it felt like we know each other already. So it was a good talk.

"On my first day he called me into his office and said, 'look, we know what kind of player you are, we know what you can do. You don't have to show it exactly from the first day because we know you just need to develop well in the team. So be free, do your things and it will come. But work hard because if you want to play, you have to work hard'.

"I listened to him. I felt that from the outside world it was like, okay, a Hungarian guy coming to the Premier League, he will not play, it's too big a step. But these things push me even harder. In my mind I was thinking: no, I'm going to show it.

"And from the first day I wanted to play all the games, want to play 90 minutes, to score goals, give assists, win trophies and do everything for the club. From the first day here, I've been trying to do that."
