Young Liverpool goalkeeper Armin Pecsi has spoken about how fellow Hungarian Dominik Szoboszlai has a "unique" way of striking the ball.

Reds midfielder Szoboszlai has long been regarded for how dangerous he can be when shooting from distance, and has netted a number of stunning goals this season, including special free-kicks against Arsenal and Manchester City. Pecsi, who currently plays for the Reds' Under-21s, regularly comes up against Szoboszlai in training, and revealed how it is extra difficult to stop his shots because they combine power and accuracy.

"You can expect from any distance he will go for power! But he will also go for accuracy," Pecsi said, as he spoke about training with Liverpool's first team.

"There are some really, really good finishers on the first-team side. Everybody strikes the ball a little bit differently.

"It makes it difficult for the goalkeepers because you cannot expect how they will shoot because some players have more techniques and they also want to trick you.

"It was difficult at first, but I think month-by-month or week-by-week, I could get to know them, and it was easier. But this is also pushing me to get to their level.

"But Dom's shots, I think everybody knows now. Hungarians knew it before, but now I think everybody in England who likes football, and maybe everyone in world football knows. He has a unique strike."

Pecsi also spoke about how Szoboszlai and other compatriot Milos Kerkez have helped him to settle in on Merseyside following his arrival from Puskas Akademia in 2025.

"They helped me a lot, especially Dom because he's here for a longer time. He helped me a lot," Pecsi said. "When I want to ask him something or get help, he always helps me.

"I think we get along good. It was good that sometimes I could speak to someone Hungarian or if I didn't understand someone or ask about something or how things work here, it was easier to explain in Hungarian and he was here.

"Of course when it comes to football and we speak about football, in this part he can also help me a lot.

"When I see the guys or him in training, it's a big inspiration in the big level they show every day."
