Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has formed a strong connection with fellow Hungarian international Milos Kerkez.
The two players, despite being at different clubs, have a bond that goes beyond the pitch.
Kerkez, a talented young left-back, was linked with a move to Liverpool last summer before joining Bournemouth.
His aggressive style and relentless energy have made him a player to watch in the Premier League.
But while Szoboszlai and Kerkez might be close off the pitch, things are different when they face each other on it.
Szoboszlai, known for his technical ability and leadership, understands how tough Kerkez can be in duels.
That’s why he had one simple request for his national team teammate.

“We’re doing really well, off the field too, so I’m trying to pay attention to him, because he needs a little attention, poor guy,” Szoboszlai said with a smile during an interview with Spíler TV.
But then he got serious.
“He’s a very bad opponent, I told him that he can slip up against anyone, but not me, because we both need each other in the national team.”
Szoboszlai’s words show both his competitive nature and his commitment to Hungary’s success.
He knows how important Kerkez is to the national team, and he doesn’t want any unnecessary injuries from club battles.
Liverpool fans will appreciate Szoboszlai’s growing influence, not just for his team but as a leader for his country.
His confidence is clear, and his performances are improving.
As he said himself, “I think in the first half of the season I was more able to stand out with my pressing and running, but now the goals are starting to come, and there are solutions that I didn’t have before.”
With Kerkez continuing to develop and Szoboszlai growing into his role at Liverpool, their friendly rivalry will be one to watch in the Premier League.
