While Dominik Szoboszlai’s dynamic performances in his early months at Liverpool suggest that he has effortlessly adapted to life on Merseyside, we only see a small part of his experience—his time on the pitch—while his personal challenges off the field remain largely hidden.

In an honest interview with journalist Mark Soos for Fodball, the 23-year-old opened up about his personal difficulties.

According to a translated quote shared by Bence Bocsak on X, Szoboszlai admitted to feeling ‘lonely’ since moving to England, saying, “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel lonely sometimes. There are days when I just sit on the couch, unsure of what to do. I end up watching a movie and trying to fall asleep, hoping that tomorrow will be better.”

It’s easy to perceive top footballers as invincible figures who, given their significant earnings, should be effortlessly managing their careers and grateful for their opportunities.

Yet, the players we support are just as human as anyone else, facing both triumphs and challenges, with their outward confidence often concealing their private struggles.

At just 23, Szoboszlai is still adjusting to life in England, navigating cultural and language shifts despite his strong English skills, and coping with the pressure of a £60m transfer to one of the world’s leading clubs.
