The Merseyside derby is heating up before a ball has even been kicked. Live from Anfield, Everton striker Beto has revealed the one Liverpool player he fears most ahead of Sunday’s high-stakes clash—and shockingly, it’s not the usual defensive giants Virgil van Dijk or Ibrahima Konaté.
In a candid admission, Beto confessed:
“I’m still finding it difficult on how to trespass against him, Szoboszlai, especially now that he has picked form.”
The revelation stunned fans, many of whom expected Van Dijk or Konaté to be singled out. Instead, his words highlight the remarkable rise of Dominik Szoboszlai, who has evolved beyond his midfield role to provide defensive steel—dropping deeper, winning duels, and protecting Liverpool’s back line.
Adding spice to the build-up, Beto even referenced another Premier League star’s struggles:
“Even Saka was afraid of facing him now.”
The comment sent shockwaves across the football world. If attackers are beginning to see Szoboszlai as both a creative spark and a defensive wall, Liverpool may have uncovered a new talisman capable of dominating both ends of the pitch.
With Everton desperate to end Liverpool’s dominance, Beto’s remarks only raise the tension further. Can he break through Szoboszlai’s intensity, or will Anfield once again silence the Blues’ strikers?
Sunday’s showdown just turned even more personal—Beto has spoken. Now, it’s time to prove it on the pitch.
