Fabio Carvalho spoke about new Liverpool signing Dominik Szoboszlai.
Earlier this month Hungary captain Szoboszlai joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig in a £60million deal on a five-year contract.
Only days previously Carvalho, eager for more game time, joined RB Leipzig on a season-long loan to make room for Szoboszlai.

Carvalho arrived at Liverpool a year ago for £5million plus add-ons worth £2.7million and was involved in all but one of the Reds’ opening 13 games, a run that extended to late October.
The high point of his first season was scoring a late winner at home to Newcastle, his second goal in successive matches. However, the Portugal Under-21 international was only afforded a handful of appearances from that point.
Indeed, Carvalho would make just two league appearances in 2023, amounting to eight minutes in total.

And upon seeing Szoboszlai’s arrival on Merseyside, Carvalho has spoken about his midfield rivals’ talents.
Carvalho on Szoboszlai
Carvalho spoke up Szoboszlai’s ability but insisted he also had lots to offer the Liverpool midfield.
Carvalho told the Athletic: “I’m a creative player and I’m good on the ball. I work hard too and not just for myself, but for the team.

“Everyone knows that Szoboszlai is a really good player, but I’ve got confidence in myself.”
Carvalho also revealed that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp didn't give him any advice ahead of his loan move.
The youngster is eager to make an impact during his spell in the Bundesliga and says that it is better for him to find things out for himself.
Carvalho said: “I don't really speak to him, so he didn't give me any advice.

“I have to just learn as I go and I don't think that's a bad thing. I feel like that's better anyway, for me to mature as a person and as a player.”
