A strange element in Dominik Szoboszlai’s living space has left fans perplexed.
Ever since he made the £60 million summer transfer from RB Leipzig to Anfield, the Hungarian midfield player has been a standout for Liverpool.
The 23-year-old, who was injured and missed Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal, has already made his position at the centre of the Reds’ new midfield clear.
Additionally, a Szoboszlai-related social media post went viral early on Monday morning.
Szoboszlai held up a Liverpool shirt with his name and number on the back while posing with the aforementioned tattoo artist in what appeared to be his living room, following the placement of a fresh tattoo on his chest.
Nevertheless, astute followers observed that the Hungarian was accompanied in one of the photos by a life-sized cardboard cutout, making it one of the most unusual living room accents one could own.
The new tattoo pattern and cardboard cutout that could be seen in the backdrop drew immediate criticism from fans.
“We going to ignore the fact that he has a cardboard cutout of himself in his own house,” a supporter remarked.
We can’t ignore the fact that Szoboszlai keeps a cardboard cutout of himself at his home, said another perplexed fan.
Nevertheless, other admirers supported the Hungarian, with one saying, “Tbf, I’d do the same,” and another adding, “I’d have two if I looked like him.”
Another supporter said, “The level of self-love I want to reach,” expressing their opinion that Szoboszlai’s accessory was only beneficial.
Szoboszlai, the person wearing the No. 8 shirt, noticed that the word “impossible” was featured in a fresh, intricate tattoo on his chest.
In addition to his recent ink, the 23-year-old also sports a tattoo honouring Steven Gerrard, the legendary Liverpool player, which says, “Talent is a divine blessing, but without incredible will and humility, it is worth nothing.”
And when asked why he selected the No. 8 shirt, Gerrard appeared to have had some impact, according to remarks he made back in the summer.
Not (for) any particular reason, he said to LFC TV. But it’s a fantastic number, of course. Many outstanding athletes possessed this number.
“In addition, I have a tattoo from Steven Gerrard, and it was partly because of something he said—I can’t even recall the exact date, but it was before.”
