Dominik Szoboszlai can be one of the best midfielders in the WORLD... from father feud to footballing greatness at Anfield as the Hungarian is tipped to follow in Jude Bellingham's generation

Two of the most defining moments of Dominik Szoboszlai's footballing life have started with a tense disagreement. Back in 2007, his father and coach Zsolt had a fallout with local academy Fehervar and quit his role there, taking his young son with him.

Rather than search for a new academy to pitch Dominik's ability, Szoboszlai Sr created a new one from scratch called Fonix Gold. It went against the grain of footballing norms in Hungary with wacky coaching methods and allowed Liverpool's No 8 to train day in, day out.

It was here that Szoboszlai's father took complete control of his footballing life.
