Dominik Szoboszlai will feature in his usual playmaker role for Hungary in their World Cup qualifying match against the Republic of Ireland, according to manager Marco Rossi.
Szoboszlai’s Role at Liverpool vs. Hungary
Hungary manager Marco Rossi has definitively stated that Dominik szoboszlai will not be deployed as a right-back during Saturday’s World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland.This comes despite the 24-year-old’s successful adaptation to the position under Liverpool manager Arne Slot this season.
Rossi, speaking with a smile, indicated he has no plans to replicate Slot’s tactical decision. He intends to utilize Szoboszlai in his preferred playmaker role as Hungary seeks to qualify for the World Cup finals for the first time in 40 years.
Rossi’s comments and Hungary’s Qualification Hopes
“I don’t think so, to be honest,” Rossi said, dismissing the possibility of Szoboszlai playing out of position. Hungary’s last appearance in a World Cup finals was in 1982. This qualifier against Ireland is seen as a crucial step towards ending that lengthy drought.
The decision to keep Szoboszlai in a central role underscores Hungary’s reliance on his creative abilities. He is a key player in their attacking setup and is expected to be instrumental in unlocking the Irish defense.
