Dominik Szoboszlai has been heavily criticised by former Everton star Andros Townsend for his display at Euro 2024 with Hungary.
Though he led out Hungary, it would have been understandable if viewers forgot the Liverpool midfielder was playing
In the opening 45 minutes, Szoboszlai rarely touched the ball with Switzerland racing into a two-goal lead while Hungary struggled to make an impact on the game.
That changed in the second period withSzoboszlai much more involved and a key reason behind Hungary getting back in the game.
After moving quickly up the pitch, the former RB Leipzig man was found in some space on the left and he promptly delivered an excellent cross which was headed home by Barnabas Varga.
While Szoboszlai eventually made an impact on the game, Townsend was left far from impressed by what he did just moments before his assist
After seeing a decision go against him, Szoboszlai reacted angrily, which led to Townsend seemingly questioning his attitude.
Townsend said:
"When you have got a player like Szoboszlai, he is your talisman, he is your captain, he is your leader, he is your best player.”
“You need his energy. You feed off his energy. You need him to be positive. You can’t have him throwing his arms up, walking around the pitch with a face on him.”
Following Townsend's comments, he seems to be concerned about Szoboszlai's application when things aren't going his way, which could serve as a stern warning to new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.
