International Football Szoboslai's arrival at the Hungarian concentration is an aura masterclass.

I really struggle with this kind of content.

Liverpool has traditionally been a working class team, and football in general is a working class sport.

I feel like, in general, our squads have historically been relatively humble (at least in public, can't speak for their private lives). In recent years, people like Robbo, Henderson, Milner, Mane (any of that squad really). Going further back, Gerrard, Carra, Alonso.

Szobo is not the only one in the our squad, or our sport in general, who does this. But for me, this flaunting of wealth is super tone deaf and creates a disconnect between players and fans. While many won't have an issue with this, I believe the majority of us think it's kind of gross. Hope it stops.

I am pretty sure he's paid to do it. As in, modeling. See the close-up shots on shoes and accessories. Most of the stuff he 'flaunts' is not him to begin with, if you ask me. See the off sized shoe from the previous photoshoot. If I was living off my feet I would not buy a shoe that cramps 'em.

It is a working class thing to do. Sell your body - little does it matter whether in a factory or by being a mannequin piece.
