**Another game, and another strong performance from Liverpool’s all-rounder, Dominik Szoboszlai.**
Liverpool fans will be glad to hear that this frustrating three-week international break is coming to an end, and Szoboszlai is returning to Liverpool injury-free.
On Monday, Hungary beat Ukraine 2-1 in a crucial UEFA Nations League match, with Szoboszlai playing just short of 90 minutes and getting rave reviews for his performance.
Without the suspended Milos Kerkez, who was serving a one-game ban, Szoboszlai impressed the Hungarian press once more with his performance.

To nobody’s surprise, it was stated by Hungarian media outlet Nemzeti Sport that you could have played Szoboszlai ‘anywhere’ on the pitch; that’s how good he was.
The Liverpool midfielder played in a deeper midfield role, as this UEFA Nations League encounter sprang to life in the second half.
Hungary opened the scoring through Máté Tóth, but Roman Yaremchuk would equalise seven minutes from time, but the away side struck the winner minutes later.
That’s when Szoboszlai was taken off, with his Hungary side picking up a crucial three points because it puts them in second place in League B Group 2 of the UEFA Nations League, one point behind Northern Ireland.
Nemzeti Sport handed him a rating of seven for his performance, and it shouldn’t be a surprise to Liverpool fans about what they said:
‘Actually, we could have placed him anywhere on the pitch (except for the goal post), because he stood out everywhere. In his case, this exemplary will and attitude constantly elevates him above the field, and now you could also see how humbly he works under the feet of his hardworking teammates – he kept the interests of the team in mind in everything.’
Moving on to the stats, after earning an incredible rating of _9.3 by Sofascore_ for his performance against Georgia, that rating was _just below seven_ this time around.
Even on what seems like an average day for Liverpool’s versatile star, he is still pulling up strong numbers.
