Liverpool star Szoboszlai: I don't want to be a Pirlo

Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai has stated that he can play anywhere in midfield.

His international manager for Hungary, Marco Rossi, stated he was a deep lying pass master.

However, Szoboszlai has no issues with being used further forward by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

"He always told me I could be the next Pirlo because he knows I didn't like to play defensive midfield," he stated to Astro SuperSport of Malaysia.

"With the time now I've played here at Liverpool a little bit more defence, I probably like it maybe. As time goes on I have to think about it. But I don't want to be the next Pirlo, of course he's a great player and legend, but I want to do my own way.

"If it's my choice, I stay like how it is now. I can attack and defend, I'm going to do both as long as I can. I will see if I lose my power a little bit when I get older and I will choose if I want to attack or defend more. Time will tell. I won't think about it now. If the manager puts me a little bit in defense I'm going to play there, if he puts me a little bit in offense, I'm going to play there."
