Dominik Szoboszlai has outlined how he intends to make his second season at Liverpool a huge success.

The No.8's first term as a Red produced silverware in the form of the Carabao Cup that came in the midst of a push for the Premier League title.

Now with the squad in the USA as part of preparations for 2024-25, Szoboszlai is targeting domestic and European achievements in year two on Merseyside.

The midfielder told Liverpoolfc.com: "It can always be better. Last year we finished third and won the Carabao Cup.

"This year, [the] Champions League is back again – where we belong – and we want to show ourselves there as well. We are going for the Premier League again.

"I'm feeling very good, getting ready for the new season. Big games ahead of us, big season, new challenges, so I think everybody is getting ready."

There is a new man in charge at Anfield for the campaign ahead, of course, in head coach Arne Slot.

High-intensity training sessions have been taking place ever since the Dutchman began working with the team as he looks to implement his own tactical ideas.

"It's a little bit different – the style of playing, how we play, how we are with the ball and also against the ball," Szoboszlai said. "Everybody's in from the training staff [and] we are getting to know them. I think everybody is happy with it and we are looking forward.

"It's quite intense but we have a lot of things to do and we need to be intense in the season as well."

Szoboszlai was speaking just after Liverpool had completed the first workout of their US pre-season tour, which kicks off with a game against Real Betis in Pittsburgh on Friday.

"Really nice," the Hungarian finished. "Nice weather – a little bit better than in Liverpool! [A] hard session but that's why we are here."
