After starting at Liverpool, Dominik Szoboszlai, captain of the Hungarian national team, has played in two tournaments for the Reds so far (Chelsea 1-1, Bournemouth 3-1), played well, won a penalty kick against Bournemouth, and scored. The third goal after a long-range shot. Many websites chose him as the best player in the match, as well as Liverpool’s official channels.
An exciting match awaits him on Sunday, when his team plays at Newcastle Stadium. At the beginning of the summer, you could read many rumors in the press about the future of Dominik Szoboszlai, and the most credible one (if there is such a thing) seems to be that he will sign a contract with the Saudi-owned Newcastle. There have been articles about Frije for weeks, but in the end, six-time European Champions Liverpool have secured the technical midfielder for €70m.
Newcastle started the 2023–24 Premier League season with a 5–1 win over Aston Villa before losing 1–0 to defending champions Manchester City. Building on the evidence of the first two tournaments, manager Eddie Howe sends his team onto the field in a 4–3–3 formation, with Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton forming the midfield. If Howe sticks with what he has done so far (and Dominik Szoboszlai also plays in his usual spot), the Hungarian star could go head to head with Joelinton, a two-time Brazil international, for the most part in his weekend campaign.
In recent days, Dominik Szoboszlai has received praise from many experts, magazines and websites related to English football, and his colleague Harvey Elliott has also expressed a good opinion of him on the official Liverpool website.
“He is a great man and a great footballer said the twenty-year-old England midfielder. – Glad to have you on our team. He is still young and I hope he will boost Liverpool for many years to come. “He is constantly developing as a player and as a person, and our job is to help him get used to his new surroundings and find a home.”
Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold said on one of the club’s social media channels that he believes Dominik Szoboszlai is the best shot in the team.
The team news is that Alexis McAllister, who was red carded against Bournemouth last weekend, can play at Newcastle on Sunday, as Liverpool’s appeal to the independent regulatory body has been successful.
