Dominik Szoboszlai has rejected the idea of taking on a formal leadership role within Liverpool despite his strong start to the season. The midfielder, who has been linked with a potential future captaincy, emphasized that Liverpool already has sufficient leaders in the squad and sees no need for him to join the official leadership group. Szoboszlai highlighted the importance of continuing to focus on the team's performance rather than individual roles.

Following Liverpool's recent victories against Aston Villa and Real Madrid, Szoboszlai stressed the significance of momentum and concentration, particularly with crucial Premier League fixtures ahead, such as the upcoming match against Manchester City. He acknowledged the challenging start Liverpool has had in defending their Premier League title, being seven points behind leaders Arsenal, but urged his teammates to remain calm and focused on winning their own games.

Szoboszlai praised the team spirit and unity in the Liverpool squad, especially through difficult periods. He noted that the close-knit nature and mutual support among players have been key to overcoming recent setbacks and maintaining a positive environment. Despite suggestions about Szoboszlai assuming a captaincy or leadership position, he prefers to contribute through his performances and let the existing leadership structure lead the team.

He stated, "We have enough" leaders and the focus should remain on collective effort and improving results, rather than individual titles or roles. Szoboszlai also noted the Premier League season is long, and early gaps in points do not determine the eventual outcome, citing last season’s experience where calmness and perseverance paid off.
