Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai brought back down to earth by teammate
Hungary goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi has defended Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai following their disappointing 3-1 loss to Switzerland in the Euro 2024 opener.
The Reds man became the youngest ever international captain in the tournament's history after leading his nation out at the age of 23. However, the historic feat was disrupted as they suffered a disappointing start despite Szoboszlai setting up Barnabas Varga's goal, his overall performance didn't escape scrutiny.
With two Group A matches remaining, Hungary face the difficult task of qualifying for the European Championships knockouts but have a glimmer of hope should they progress as best performing third-place side. They face hosts Germany in their next encounter, who go into the clash on the back of the 5-1 drubbing of Scotland in the tournament's curtain-raiser.

In an interview with German publication D. Z, Gulacsi acknowledged the team's unity, he said: "We have a clear structure of how we want to play. And an incredible team spirit.
"Everyone knows where they stand and what their job is. Of course, we have an exceptional player in Dominik Szoboszlai, but we don't have a superstar.
"Everyone is equal. We are all pulling in the same direction." Gulacsi, who previously played with Szoboszlai at RB Leipzig and also had stints with Liverpool and Hull City, understands the midfielder's capabilities intimately.
Despite the initial setback, Gulacsi remains confident in the 23-year-old's abilities. He further remarked: "He is our key player, as a character on the pitch and as a captain. To have such leadership at such a young age is extraordinary.
"You can feel what it means to play for our country. He could easily come to us from Liverpool and play at half speed, but he gives everything he has.
"He wants to be on the pitch for 90 minutes every game. We have no limits when it comes to physical performance."
