Liverpool forward Dominik Szoboszlai told a reporter that if false stories about him appear again, he will no longer speak to that journalist.
At a Hungarian national team briefing ahead of the Ukraine-versus-Netherlands game, Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai warned a journalist that any future false reporting about him would result in a permanent break in contact. He criticized a recent piece that he says misrepresented facts and placed him in an uncomfortable situation, urging journalists to verify details and ensure accurate translation. Szoboszlai also noted his efforts to shield his family from media exposure and emphasized the need for respectful interaction between players and the press.
