How to pronounce Dominik Szoboszlai's name as Liverpool star ...

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is set to star for Hungary at Euro 2024. Fans have been told how to pronounce his name ahead of the tournament"...

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has confirmed how to say his name ahead of Euro 2024, with a variety of Premier League stars set to take part in the tournament.

Host Germany hammered Scotland in the opening match with Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala starring for Julian Nagelsmann's side. Also in that group are Hungary and Switzerland, who will face one another later today.

Ahead of the match, Szoboszlai and others have explained to fans how their names should be pronounced, though there are plenty of people who have been saying them wrong for years!

“Kev-in De Bruh-ner” is how you are meant to say the Manchester City attacking midfielder's name, while "Eb-er-etch-ay ez-ay" will hope to play a starring role for England. Although Tomas Soucek has been a West Ham player for four years now, the way you say his name is probably wrong. The way you are meant to pronounce the central midfielder's name is: "Tomaj So-check".

Meanwhile, Szoboszlai is one of the newer Premier League players whose name has caused confusion for English speakers. His is fairly straightforward and most people should have got the hang of it by now: "Do-min-ik Sob-oss-lye".

Szoboszlai will become the youngest-ever captain at a European Championship later today when the 23-year-old takes the armband in Cologne. The Liverpool number eight will skipper his nation with its hopes of progressing into the knockout phase resting almost exclusively on his shoulders.

“A few days ago, I found out that I’ll be the youngest team captain of all time at the European Championship," Szoboszlai said during a press conference on Tuesday. "This is a great honor for me and at the same time, I would like to thank [Hungary manager] Marco Rossi for trusting me and for giving me the opportunity to lead the team to the European Championship."
