Szoboszlai tells Hungary teammates: Liverpool won't change me

Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai has stressed to his Hungary team-mates that nothing has changed.

The 22-year-old is now a famous name in the footballing world after a £60 million transfer to the Premier League club.

However, the former RB Leipzig star is keeping his feet firmly on the ground at all times.

He told Index: "When I spoke to the boys before the game as team captain, I emphasized that the team that wants to win more will win this game.

"That happened because I think we wanted the victory more, not only because I said so, but also because we knew that if we win here, we will take a big step towards advancing.

"Now, even as a Liverpool player, I am the same Dominik Szoboszlai as I was. Here, everyone is equal in the team, everyone looks at each other the same way.

"I want to set an example and help the team. I would like to avoid being seen as a superstar, of course the media writes what they want, but I don't want this to be a topic within the team."
