The Hungarian midfielder added another incredible strike to his highlight reel in last week's Carabao Cup victory as he continues to revive the lost art of the long-range goal
Dominik Szoboszlai is on the “right path” to inherit captaincy duties at Liverpool and become “Steven Gerrard’s successor”, Reds icon Vladimir Smicer has told GOAL. The all-action Hungarian midfielder, who shares many qualities with a legendary No.8 from the not too distant past, has signed a new contract at Anfield and committed his future to Premier League giants.
Liverpool cult hero Vladimir Smicer has explained to GOAL the three qualities that Dominik Szoboszlai shares with Pavel Nedved, having previously likened the all-action Hungarian to a legendary Ballon d’Or winner. Czech icon Nedved once starred for the likes of Lazio and Juventus and is considered to have shaped the mould from which an Anfield talisman has been cut.
Dominik Szoboszlai has sent a clear message to his doubters after helping Liverpool secure a hard-fought victory against Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup. The Hungarian midfielder, who has faced scrutiny for his recent performances, insists he is happy to play anywhere on the pitch to help Andoni Iraola’s side succeed.
Hungary international Dominik Szoboszlai produced the standout moment with a dream goal for Liverpool in their Carabao Cup win over Tottenham Hotspur (3-1) and was then celebrated afterwards.
Andoni Iraola lauded Dominik Szoboszlai after the midfielder's sensational stoppage-time strike sealed a 3-1 victory for Liverpool over Tottenham. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and the Hungarian international booked the Reds' place in the Carabao Cup fourth round, compounding a miserable run of form for Roberto De Zerbi's struggling side.
Dominik Szoboszlai believes that Liverpool must rediscover the ferocious tempo that defined their previous success if they are to overhaul Arsenal in the Premier League title race. The Hungarian midfielder, now serving as one of the club's vice-captains, insists that recapturing that relentless energy is the missing ingredient for the current squad.
Former Liverpool winger Steve McManaman has challenged Dominik Szoboszlai to step up following the summer departures of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson. The Hungarian midfielder has been named vice-captain under new head coach Andoni Iraola alongside Alisson Becker and Joe Gomez.
Speaking exclusively on the Beast Mode Podcast following his PFA Players' Player of the Year triumph, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes shared a hilarious story about his son's favourite footballer. In a conversation with host and boyhood Liverpool fan Adebayo Akinfenwa, the Portuguese playmaker confessed his shock at discovering that his own child would prefer to emulate Reds midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, with Fernandes also opening up on his pride at claiming the all-time Premier League assists record.
Dominik Szoboszlai is considered to be Liverpool captain material, as the potential heir to Virgil van Dijk at Anfield, but Reds legend Ray Houghton has highlighted to GOAL the selection mistake that Andoni Iraola and Co must avoid when it comes to the all-action Hungarian. Szoboszlai has seen his versatility put to good use across three seasons on Merseyside.
Dominik Szoboszlai felt Liverpool should have claimed all three points despite needing his dramatic 99th-minute penalty to rescue a 2-2 draw against Newcastle on Sunday. The midfielder held his nerve from the spot in front of a hostile St James' Park crowd after strikes from Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock put the hosts on the brink of an opening-day win.
Dominik Szoboszlai has played down a public confrontation with Liverpool team-mate Curtis Jones, insisting there is no lingering animosity between the pair following a heated exchange during the club’s pre-season tour. The Hungarian midfielder was spotted in a visible disagreement with the academy graduate following a friendly victory over Wrexham, leading to intense speculation regarding a rift in the dressing room.
