The ECHO chats to Dominik Szoboszlai as the £60m midfielder continues to get adjusted to life at Liverpool
A stone-faced Dominik Szoboszlai was not exactly sure why his deadpan answer had brought out a chortle from at least a couple of the reporters he was sitting in front of.
"I am this type, I like to win, I like to do everything for the team. If they ask me if I want to win the Premier League, of course I want to win it. If I want to win the Europa League and the FA Cup, the same. Everything we can do this year. I want to win everything because nobody is going to ask you how it feels to be second.
"Well, with my dad, I was training a long time," he says. "He was my coach. With him I almost only did the technical stuff, the shooting stuff. And when I got to the Red Bull family, either Salzburg or Leipzig, I learned to work against the ball a lot, in different systems to see myself in a position like No.8. or No.10 – sometimes as a No.6. I just learned everything there.
It was a deal that was wrapped up decisively over the course of less than a week. Liverpool initially met with the Hungarian's agent Matyas Esterhazy on Monday June 26, just five days before his release clause was set to expire in Germany. The £60m bid, tabled on Friday of that week, unlocked the terms which led to the swift curtailment of a holiday in Croatia, where Szoboszlai was visiting with friends.
With Liverpool's midfield in something of a flux, Szoboszlai arrived following the departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The new No.8 joined on alongside Mac Allister, who had signed from Brighton & Hove Albion just a few weeks earlier, but within a fortnight, it was clear captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho would be furthering what has now become a mass midfield exodus at Anfield this summer.
