Photo by Visionhaus/Getty Images As quoted by Nemzeti Sport, Szoboszlai simply answered ‘very much’ when asked how much his heart aches after the last-gasp defeat.The interviewer continues to speak without getting much in return from the subject, with pain and resignation etched across Szoboszlai’s features.Finally, the Liverpool star does speak again when it is put to him that Sunday’s match demonstrated how unfair football can be at times.“It looks like it, yes,” he said.Szoboszlai must channel Hungary painThis will not be an easy moment for Szoboszlai to simply overcome.

Hungary do not make it to many World Cups, and this one was firmly in their grasp.As the captain and figurehead, the Liverpool midfielder will likely blame himself for his country’s failure.While that could affect his excellent form for the Reds, it does not have to be the case. Instead, Szoboszlai could channel his anger and frustration into kicking on yet again.With one dream taken away from him, there remains the carrot of a Champions League final in Budapest scheduled for next May.It would be a special way for Szoboszlai to come back if he can lift club football’s most prestigious trophy in his home country.
