Milos Kerkez and Dominik Szoboszlai celebrated a vital win for Hungary as they push for a place at the 2026 World Cup, but the Liverpool left-back faced more questions. What Hungarian media said about Milos Kerkez Kerkez and Szoboszlai both started against Armenia, rekindling their partnership down the left-hand side with the left-back in his natural role and Liverpool’s No.

“[It is] as if his self-confidence has disappeared a little in Liverpool.” Per FotMob, Kerkez still completed 45 of his 50 attempted passes (90%), but it appears as though the statistics fail to tell the full story. None of his six attempted crosses found their target, despite only one player – Szoboszlai (5/8 or 63%) – attempting more, while only 50 percent of his eight long balls were accurate.

The concerns over his self-confidence appear to ring true, particularly when married to his performances so far for Liverpool. It means if Hungary beat Ireland on Sunday and Portugal fail to win at home to Armenia, Rossi’s side will qualify directly for next summer’s tournament.
