Dominik Szoboszlai Pays Tribute to Liverpool Legend Steven Gerrard. In a touching homage to a Liverpool great, the club’s new signing Dominik Szoboszlai has revealed that he had a tattoo inspired by iconic former captain Steven Gerrard before even joining the Reds.

When asked about his decision to wear the coveted number 8 shirt at Anfield, the 22-year-old midfielder explained that it was not for any “special reason,” but rather because it is a “great number” donned by many legendary players. However, he went on to disclоse that he has a tattoo featuring a quote attributed to Gerrard.

Szoboszlai shared that the tattoo, which is written in Hungarian, captures a sentiment previously expressed by the Liverpool icon: “Talent is a divine blessing, but without incredible will and humility, it is worthless.” The young Hungarian admitted that while he couldn’t recall the exact timing, he had acquired the tattoo even before his move to Merseyside.

Gerrard, who wore the number 8 shirt with distinction during his illustrious 17-year career at Liverpool, is widely regarded as one of the club’s greatest players. His leadership, skill, and determination on the pitch have made him a role model for many, including Szoboszlai.

The new Liverpool signing revealed that he was drawn to Gerrard’s exploits, particularly his heroic performance in the 2005 Champions League final, even as a child. Szoboszlai shared, “When I was a child, to be honest I didn’t watch that much football, but of course when it was Champions League or a big game, I was watching Liverpool, the big teams and also the big players – and he was one of the biggest.”

Donning the iconic number 8 shirt and honoring Gerrard’s legacy with a permanent tribute on his body, Dominik Szoboszlai has firmly cemented his admiration for the Liverpool legend. As he embarks on his journey with the Reds, the young midfielder undoubtedly hopes to emulate the success and impact of his illustrious predecessor.
