'We are cool' - Szoboszlai plays down Liverpool row
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai says he has "cleared" the situation with team-mates Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas after they seemingly argued over the captain's armband.
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has dismissed rumors surrounding an argument between himself, Curtis Jones, and goalkeeper Kostas Tsimikas over the captain's armband following a preseason match against Wrexham in New York. Szoboszlai stated that the misunderstanding was merely a discussion on the pitch and not a heated argument.
He added that the media has blown the incident out of proportion. Szoboszlai also clarified that there has been no conversation about the vice-captaincy vacancy, as the Reds' new manager Andoni Iraola has not yet discussed the role. Despite a 4-2 loss to Leeds, Szoboszlai expressed optimism about the upcoming season, praising new manager Andoni Iraola and 19-year-old midfielder Trey Nyoni, who has impressed in pre-season training.
