Dominik Szoboszlai has been a Liverpool player since the summer of 2023, and while he found himself in and out of the team during his first campaign at the club, he has gone on to become one of the Reds' most consistent performers under Arne Slot.
Capable of playing anywhere in the midfield and at full-back, the Hungarian has become a fan favourite due to his engine and eye for a pass. Many feel that he is the club's most important player in the middle of the park.
The way new Liverpool chants work in modern times is that someone with an acoustic guitar will create a song for a player, they'll get filmed singing it, and then it will eventually make it to the Kop. This was once again the case for the Dominik Szoboszlai chant.
Dominik Szoboszlai chant, lyrics and tune
The Dominik Szobsoszclai chant is sung to the tune of ‘This Is the Life’ by Amy Macdonald. The lyrics to the chant are as follows:
When we’re singing his song,
And we’ll sing it all night,
When he’s passing from the left,
And he’s shooting from the right,
Where’s he gonna go,
Where’s he gonna go,
Dominik Szoboszlai!
Dominik Szoboszlai chant background
The song was created by Andy Hodgson, who has made a bit of a reputation for himself in recent years as being a Liverpool ‘chantwriter' at Taggy's, a pub near Anfield.
Hodgson has effectively taken over the mantle from Liverpool musician Jamie Webster, who used to do this sort of thing before he went mainstream.
From a lyrical point of view, this football chant doesn't reference anything specific to Szoboszlai, but the tune used is an original one. It perhaps feels like Hodgson decided that the player's name fitted with the chorus of the song and went from there.
Liverpool fans singing the Dominik Szoboszlai chant
FGG says: A good tune, but there's a reason it hasn't fully taken off
In a world where football fans often just rehash tunes that other clubs sing, I'm never going to criticise someone for coming up with something original.
However, there is a reason why this hasn't exploded at Anfield like other Liverpool chants created by someone on an acoustic guitar, and it's probably because the lyrics could be applicable to any footballer in the world.
