FRANKFURT, Germany — Dominik Szoboszlai mentioned that Liverpool has held numerous meetings in response to their four-game losing streak, aiming to help the struggling champions regain their form.
As Liverpool prepares to take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League in Germany on Wednesday, they seek to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat in all competitions, something the club hasn’t experienced since September 1953.
Their recent 2-1 loss to Manchester United at home marked their first defeat against United at Anfield since January 2016, placing them on the verge of the worst run of results in 72 years. Szoboszlai noted that the team has been trying to motivate themselves to break out of this slump that began after a 2-1 setback against Crystal Palace last month.
“It’s something that hasn’t happened in my career, but many of the guys have faced four straight losses,” Szoboszlai remarked. “We need to stay united, which is crucial at a time like this.”
“We’ve had plenty of discussions and the most important thing is to remain cohesive, especially during tough times. We are prepared to respond, and that’s exactly what we intend to do.”
“Things will turn around. If you put in the hard work and persevere, luck will eventually be on your side.”
“We hit the post three times against United, created opportunities, and limited chances for our opponents. Sometimes, that’s just how it goes.”
Going into the match against Frankfurt, Liverpool aims to bounce back from a previous defeat against Galatasaray in their last Champions League outing. Additionally, Slot’s squad faced a delay of nearly four hours in their flight to Germany due to a “technical error” on Tuesday.
While 24 teams advance from the League Stage, providing a cushion for the bigger clubs during this eight-game phase, Szoboszlai underscores the necessity for Liverpool to secure a victory in Frankfurt to reignite their season.
“With one win and one loss from our two games, it’s essential to claim all three points,” he emphasized.
“However, the most crucial aspect is to demonstrate our character, showcasing what Liverpool is capable of and what we can achieve.”

“We proved last season that we could be champions, and now every opponent is prepared for us, which is a good challenge. We should view it positively and be ready to meet that challenge.”
“This Champions League season feels especially significant for me as the final will be held in Budapest.”
“However, it’s a long journey ahead, and we have many things to work on, learn from, and focus on ourselves.”
