A couple of games have transpired so far. He is young. 21. He appears headstrong and willing to run to no end. But evidence also appears to be accruing that he may not be such a great defender. Notice this instance. This was one-on-one and look at what sort of cross he allowed to be put in. Notice the location where that ball was crossed in. In the most dangerous area. Not a good look for a left back. Stopping crosses when one-on-one should be their great expertise.


Luckily, Szoboszlai was there. Szoboszlai is a very talented midfielder. And people should know that the very least talented players tend to end up playing right back and left back positions. Even though Szoboszlai is a midfielder he clearly has good awareness, knows how to anticipate well, and position himself. He would've made a superb right back. But because he was so good and talented, growing up he was pushed up to play in the more demanding, midfield positions. That is what happens to all footballers.
