Dominik Szoboszlai’s unforgettable free-kick lights up RB Leipzig’s 2021 triumph

by ·

Liverpool’s newest addition, Dominik Szoboszlai, has already set the stage ablaze with a breathtaking free-kick that he netted during his time at RB Leipzig in 2021. This Hungarian international, whose signing with Liverpool was announced recently, has instantly captured the attention of Reds supporters with his exceptional skills.

The move to bring Szoboszlai to Anfield was made possible by Liverpool triggering a release clause in his RB Leipzig contract, a smart move considering his imminent contract expiration. The Reds secured the highly talented player for a substantial £60 million, making him their second signing of the summer.

As anticipation builds for the upcoming season and pre-season draws near, Liverpool fans are buzzing with excitement. The footage of Szoboszlai’s remarkable free-kick has left supporters eagerly anticipating similar moments of brilliance on the hallowed grounds of Anfield.

In the video capturing this stunning feat, Szoboszlai finds himself in a set-piece scenario on the left touchline. The opposing defenders and goalkeeper brace themselves for an anticipated cross, employing solid defensive tactics and keeping attackers in check. However, Szoboszlai, with unwavering confidence, takes his chance and delivers an irresistible strike into the far corner, leaving the goalkeeper rooted to the spot in sheer awe.

While some may question the original intention behind the free-kick, the sheer beauty and outcome of the shot cannot be denied. With this display of extraordinary skill, Szoboszlai has placed himself as a formidable competitor for set-pieces, potentially challenging Trent Alexander-Arnold for that role in the upcoming season.

The Liverpool fanbase has erupted with excitement, sharing their reactions to Szoboszlai’s sensational free-kick. One fan on Reddit marvelled at the physics-defying nature of the goal, exclaiming, “I can’t wrap my head around the ball’s trajectory. The backspin must have been insane for it to stay lofted for so long.” Another admirer declared the flight of the ball as mesmerizing, unable to resist watching the replay multiple times.

An astute observer also noted the impeccable technique behind the goal, appreciating how Szoboszlai struck down through the ball, as evident in an alternate angle showcased in the replay.

Now, Jurgen Klopp faces a delightful dilemma as he ponders who will take charge of corners, free-kicks, and penalties in the upcoming season. With Szoboszlai’s exceptional skills in all these areas, the Liverpool manager will need to make a strategic decision that could further elevate the team’s set-piece prowess.
