Dominik Szoboszlai, discusses his Steven Gerrard tattoo and his lack of consideration for the Champions League. Dominik Szoboszlai talked about his Steven Gerrard tattoo and why, prior to joining Liverpool, he did not think about missing out on Champions League action this season.

Liverpool fulfilled the release clause in the captain of Hungary’s contract with RB Leipzig during the first week of July. He has participated in every preseason game and has become better with every minute.

In right midfield, Jurgen Klopp has mostly utilized the 22-year-old as a direct substitute for captain Jordan Henderson, who is leaving the team.

The tattoo, which included a quotation by Steven Gerrard that read, “God gives you talent, but if you don’t work and sacrifice a lot, it will meаn nothing,” and the long-term goals of joining Liverpool (via The Athletic; subscription required) were discussed by Szoboszlai.

“My idol was Cristiano Ronaldo, but I also liked to watch Liverpool and other teams play.” One of the most significant players in my early years was Gerrard.

“It makes me happy and gives me pleasure to wear the No. 8 now.” But I want to carry out my plan.

“The manager is a person who is sensitive.” He puts everything on the line and looks to us to follow suit. We will be able to compete for the top prizes if we all do this.

“Everyone wants to play in the Champions League, of course, but I didn’t give that much thought when I heard Liverpool was interested in signing me.” It requires effort on your part. Not that the Champions League was on my mind. Moving forward, all I want to do is get us back there, where we belong.

To become a legend at your football club, there are two paths. One option is to support the squad during crucial games and be there when they’re performing at their best. The second is to encourage them to go back to their rightful place while supporting them during a period of transition.

Szoboszlai’s comments indicate that he is unquestionably on the latter side. In order to support Liverpool’s return to the Champions League in a year, he has ruled out playing in the competition for a season.

With a mindset like that, the 22-year-old will probably enjoy playing for the Reds and will stop at nothing to assist the team reach its greatest potential in the upcoming months and years.

Additionally, the captain of Hungary is an excellent player, which is a minor point. In addition to working hard off the ball to help the team’s defensive transition, he can provide goals from midfield. All in all, a very good signing from a mentаl and tactical one.
