Dominik Szoboszlai, a recent addition to Liverpool, is adamant that the Reds, despite the dominance of Manchester City and Erling Haaland, do not intend to merely fill the gaps in the Premier League title race.
Dominik Szoboszlai, a midfielder for Liverpool, has issued a warning to best friend Erling Haaland, saying that he won’t be joining him in the race for second place in the Premier League.
When they were teammates at RB Salzburg, the treble-winning Norwegian and the £60 million Hungarian international developed such a strong bond that after moving to Anfield, the Hungarian purchased a home on the same millionaire’s row as the Norwegian.
After just two games in the new season, Szoboszlai is already envious of his neighbor’s victory.
The 22-year-old’s circle of friends also includes Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku and City defender Josko Gvardiol; when asked which of them would win this season, he made no hesitances.
Szoboszlai uttered the word “us” while feigning a wind-up-like grin. “No, I’m not kidding. That’s how I’ve always thought. even though it is challenging.
“The Premier League has some very good teams, but we are also very good,” he said. Our players and coach are excellent. We’re going to give it our all, and I want to finish first.
“I believe that everyone in the Premier League who has a chance to win is like this. Everyone here is having the same thought. If you ask the other guys, they’ll probably agree with me.
This is who I am.
I enjoy winning and going above and beyond for the team. The Premier League is something I obviously want to win if they ask if I want to. The FA Cup and Europa League competitions must be won if I want to win both.
Nobody will inquire about how it feels to come in second, so I want to win everything.”.
Szoboszlai is a good talker, but he rarely discusses football with Haaland.
“I am not talking to him about football,” he continued. He is familiar with my family, and I am somewhat familiar with his. We talk about how they and he are. Not the football, just everyday things.
“He came here and had a season with over 50 goals. Because I was familiar with his qualities, I knew he would do it. He will likely continue what he did last year, but I also hope to carry on for my team.
Erling is a really good friend of mine, but for the 95 to 100 minutes that we play against each other, I don’t really care about that — and he probably doesn’t either.
“This is typical. I am thinking about my teammates and myself, and if I can get a game-winning goal at the very end, that makes me even happier. “.
Szoboszlai is following in the footsteps of his father, Szolt, who had his own successful career before assuming leadership of his son’s early coaching with a commitment that eventually led to the creation of his own academy team.
At the age of 14, the midfielder left home to pursue his dream with RB Salzburg before moving on to Leipzig, the sister team of the Austrian champions.
Szoboszlai’s penalty kick in a Nations League match against England in Budapest during the summer of 2022 gave Hungary the victory.
But what really caught the eye of Europe’s top clubs were his impressive performances in the German Bundesliga and Champions League the previous season.
Prior to Liverpool triggering the buy-out clause in his contract while he was on vacation with friends in Croatia earlier this summer, Szoboszlai was linked to Newcastle.
The Hungarian will visit St James’ Park for the first time when Jurgen Klopp’s team visits Tyneside to take on the team that defeated them to a top-four spot the previous season.
“I gave my agent complete control,” Szoboszlai said. I simply carry on with my daily activities, and if anything changes, he will let me know. When Liverpool entered the game, I was on vacation with my friends and, of course, I was having a great time.
My agent then told me over the phone, “Okay, now you have to stop enjoying the holiday and take care of yourself! Now you have to leave. “.
