Tipico Blog: The top transfers from the clubs

The winter transfer period has ended. The Bundesliga clubs have become prominent and exciting. The top transfers include internationally tried players, tried and tested Bundesliga goal scorers and young talents.

Dominik Szoboszlai (RB Leipzig)

It is the second minute of stoppage time in the play-offs for the 2021 European Championship. The Hungarians’ ten begins their solo run in their own half: with a body deception, he shakes off two Icelanders lightly. The penalty area and another opponent are getting closer and closer – so the Hungarian just pulls away. The ball hits the bottom right, from the inner post into the goal net. It’s 2: 1 for Hungary, who qualify for the EM and can now contest the preliminary round with Germany, France and Portugal. The goalscorer? Dominik Szoboszlai.

After his goal, the 20-year-old giant talent of the Hungarians is almost crushed: Almost the entire team, including large parts of the support staff, throw themselves at the midfielder. Since this transfer period, Hungary’s athlete of the year 2020 has been under contract with RB Leipzig. “He has extraordinary potential and can play any position in midfield,” said Leipzig sports director Markus Krösche after signing with Szoboszlai. What distinguishes the third Hungarian national player – alongside Peter Gulacsi and Willi Orban – in the Saxon squad is his strong technique paired with high dynamics and his tremendous quality in the end: With his right foot he not only managed the sharp and precise hit against Iceland, but one or the other long-range or direct free-kick goal.

“In Hungary people compare him to Ferenc Puskas”, reported Lothar Matthäus, who was once the national coach of Hungary and lives in Budapest. Puskas was defeated in the 1954 World Cup final as captain with the favored Hungarians 2: 3 against Germany (“The Miracle of Bern”) and scored goal after goal for Real Madrid. “I want to be Dominik Szoboszlai,” said Leipzig’s new number 17. Puskas was a role model for him as a child. “I want to be a role model for current children in Hungary.” The move to Leipzig is “the best decision for my future”. Due to adductor problems, Julian Nagelsmann currently has to do without Szoboszlai.
