The Hungarian was one of Liverpool's standout performers last season, one in which Champions League qualification was not enough to save manager Arne Slot from the sack. Szoboszlai deputised as an emergency right-back for spells amid an injury crisis in the position, and while he sees himself primarily as a box-to-box midfielder, he made clear he has no issue being asked to play out of position again.
"I could easily say 'I don't want to play full-back; either you put me in midfield, or I'm not playing'," he said. "But I don't do that because I want to help my team however I can. It's a team sport.
"Ultimately, I want to win, no matter where I'm asked to play. Some might say you're perhaps too nice... I'm a team player. I'm not too nice, believe me!
"But I have too much ego; the more people try to tell me I won't succeed, the more I take a perverse pleasure in proving them wrong. That's why I have so much love for the people sitting on their sofas talking s**t about me."
Szoboszlai added: "Honestly, moving from midfield to full-back really isn't difficult. In midfield, you need a panoramic view because the play - and the opponents - can come from anywhere, whereas at full-back, it's pretty binary: if there's no one in front of me, I'm free; if there's an opponent, I'm not. Simple.
"But my preferred position is box-to-box midfielder, because I have every option: playing short or long, running with the ball, making runs off the ball, shooting from distance, or dropping in closer."
Liverpool are in talks with the 25-year-old over an improved contract, with two years left on his current deal, and he used the interview to outline his ambitions under new head coach Andoni Iraola.
"As a child, I always dreamed of winning the Champions League - probably even more than winning the Premier League," he said. "But now that I've had a taste of it, I absolutely want to win the Premier League again because 2025 was just incredible.
"I'm convinced we can compete (in the Champions League), and I'm hopeful that with the new manager Andoni Iraola we'll move in the right direction. And then, of course, I dream of playing in the World Cup one day."
Asked by France Football which was his true self, given the contrast between his flamboyant off-field persona and more understated approach on the pitch, he explained.
"I'd say both sides make up Dominik Szoboszlai," he said. "It's just that I know when to switch modes. On the pitch, my mindset is all about streamlined efficiency - focusing on my job and the tasks I need to carry out - while off the pitch, I like to add a little extra flair."
