Dominik Szoboszlai rejects Steven Gerrard season comparisons
After Liverpool’s FA Cup win, Szoboszlai was asked about the suggestion of a Steven Gerrard-like season. He addressed these comparisons in the post-match interview.
“I just want to keep going and score as many as I can. I’m not playing a Steven Gerrard season. Although he was a legend at the club, I’m trying to write my own story,” Szoboszlai said.
His response was calm and respectful. Szoboszlai recognized Gerrard’s legendary status at Anfield but made it clear he aims to build his own legacy instead of imitating a former captain.
With Liverpool progressing in the FA Cup, he remains focused on his contributions rather than the comparisons. While the parallels may persist, Szoboszlai aims for strong performance and impact.

Szoboszlai also highlighted Liverpool’s overall goals in the competition. He stressed the need for consistency as the season continues.
“I try to do my best every game. Hopefully, we can go on until the end,” he noted.
This comment reflects a focus on results rather than hype. Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Brighton keeps them in the FA Cup, and maintaining this level will be crucial for a deep run in the tournament.
While Szoboszlai may dismiss the notion of recreating a Steven Gerrard season, if his performances keep influencing results like this, his own chapter in Liverpool’s history will unfold uniquely.
