So, in the end, it's not too difficult and the trick is to ignore the Zs.

Following his move, Szoboszlai said: “When I knew I was going to join, I sat down for like five minutes and thought, ‘Well, I have to do now even more because they have really, really good quality, they have really, really good players.’ After the first session, I just felt it like: ‘OK, let’s get ready.’

“I came here because I already loved the club even when I didn’t play in front of the fans or in the stadium.

“I want to give my best, I want to do everything for the club, for the guys, for myself. And I want to win trophies and as much as I can, not only one.

“I just do my things. If the goals are coming they are coming, if the assists are coming they are coming.

“This is my target: the team should be successful. If the team is successful you’re going to be successful as a person, as a player.”
