Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai provides insight on the Bournemouth game
In the two games that he has turned up for Liverpool, midfield maestro Dominik Szoboszlai has proved to be worth every penny that the Reds have spent on him. A top-class performance against Chelsea followed by a Man of the Match-worthy display against Bournemouth speaks levels of his growing stature in English Football.
Speaking to BBC via Mirror after the game against the Cherries, Szobo spoke about how the manager was slacking him for not tracking back in phases. Following the red card to Alexis Mac Allister, the requirements of the game were such that Szobo and the rest of the boys had to put in a shift in reverse gear. However, understandably, the 22-year-old forgot at times, and that was not easy for him.
“We are there for each other and if somebody gets sent off then we change some of the things and I go back as a six. I cannot go forward as much, even the manager was screaming at me sometimes because I forget it. We fight for each other and we even scored after the red card.”
The former Leipzig man, through his words, is telling us why Hungary made him their national captain even though he is a young player by all means. The commitment to the greater cause of the team builds great characters, and leading comes naturally to such players. A few do it in one way, and a few do the same in a totally different way.

Even though it was only Bournemouth, at the end of the day, the Cherries are a pretty solid side, and especially sorted in their backline. To break through these lines, and put in a performance like Szobo did, it takes a lot of courage.
Szobo for the Reds
It was wonderful to see Liverpool’s midfielders get onto their creative side, after witnessing a workhorse midfield at the Reds for over Klopp’s tenure at the club. Overall, it was a good display, and long may it continue.
What’s particularly intriguing is Szoboszlai’s insight into the team dynamics following challenging situations. His mention of the squad’s ability to adapt and even score after being reduced to ten men highlights the resilience and determination within the team. This kind of camaraderie and adaptability bodes well for Liverpool as they navigate the unpredictable landscape of the Premier League.
Moreover, Szoboszlai’s comments offer a glimpse into his character, one that embodies the essence of leadership. Despite being a relatively young player, his role as Hungary’s national captain attests to his qualities as a leader on and off the pitch. Leadership takes various forms, and Szoboszlai’s commitment to the team’s cause and his readiness to adapt exemplify a type of leadership that can inspire his teammates.
