Hungarian national team: I feel sorry for those who expect the Hungarian team to lose – Rossi

"In this match, England had a little more possession of the ball, the visitors tried to use the high press on us, especially after our goal, but overall, it was a very even match. I said before the game that against a team like England, you have to play your own game as good as possible and hope that the opponent does not bring his best day, and that was exactly the case today. First of all, congratulations to the guys because the results do not fall into our laps by accident. This victory is a sacrifice, a victory of will, the boys played as a team, and the Hungarian national team is now a team, even if it's not an extremely great team, but a team. It's a team whose players play wholeheartedly," Rossi summarized.

The head coach then talked about the mood and mentioned the critics again this time.

"We are very happy to give these little guys a victory. Children are the future of the entire world, who will forever keep the team in their hearts. During halftime, I told the boys to believe they can win. I'm happy, they gave the maximum. This match is another gem that we can bead on the string of the last few years. Those people who disparage this team are not real Hungarians. Those who expect the national team to lose, I am sorry, their calculation was wrong."

In response to a question from Nemzeti Sport, the captain also talked about tactics and some players.

"In the first half, we had three or four lightning-fast counterattacks, which Ádám Szalai started and the whole team caught up. We had opportunities, so the result could have been 2-0. Dominik Szoboszlai ran as much and intensely as he had never done in the past. He's constantly improving, and he understood how he can become a real leader," Rossi said.
