PEP TALK
Dominik Szoboszlai has reacted to Pep Guardiola completely butchering the pronunciation of his surname ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City. The way Guardiola pronounced Szoboszlai is what got social media talking. It’s a tricky name to say as it is, but Guardiola put
a new spin on it. Szoboszlai’s heard the video himself and had to have his say on social media. Luckily, the 23-year- old appears to have taken it all in his stride. He simply commented four laughing emojis under a Hungarian account reporting Guardiola’s slip-up.
