Joe Matip has lauded how Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have adapted to life at Liverpool since signing for the club this summer.
Speaking to the club’s official programme, the 32-year-old defender praised the midfield duo, who have impressed at Anfield this season.
Szoboszlai, in particular, has caught the eye for both Liverpool fans and pundits, whilst Mac Allister is slowly finding his feet in Jurgen Klopp’s new-look midfield system.

And Matip has been impressed with what he has seen from the two midfielders, who going into the future are expected to be key players for Liverpool.
The centre-back said: “All of the new players have settled in well. Dom and Macca have played almost the whole time and they have done it brilliantly.

“You can see that both playing with the ball and also against the ball their adaptation has been great. Okay, they did that in their old clubs too, but they have never looked like they’re really new here.”
Matip’s praise for Mac Allister and Szoboszlai is encouraging
Liverpool’s business this summer was unexpected yet needed, with complete surgery in the midfield needed if the Reds were to do anything of note this season.
And Matip’s praise for just two of the four midfielders Liverpool signed this summer is an encouraging sign, with Szoboszlai especially taking the Premier League by storm.
With Mac Allister improving with each game, Liverpool’s midfield is slowly taking shape, and the Reds could soon have one of the best trios in the entire league.
