“I think we played very well in the first half, we started the match well and we didn’t deserve to be behind. Unfortunately, the opponent took advantage of a big mistake in our defense – began his post-match press conference Marco Rossi, the captain of the Hungarian national team. – But we didn’t collapse, we didn’t collapse, but we stayed true to the tactics developed and discussed in advance, we scored two quick goals, which turned things around. When you play football against a team as strong as Serbia, you have to be prepared to suffer. Maybe we suffered a little more than usual, but the very good home team forced this situation on us. We played well in the first half and deservedly converted, and in the second half we played with heart. This victory also required some luck, it must be admitted. In the first half, we were the better team, in the second half, the opponent was dominant, but our victory was no accident.”
It was mentioned that the Serbian national team captain Dragan Stojkovics, already at the press conference before the match, considered the greatest strength of the Hungarian team to be that he became confident under the guidance of the Italian national team captain.
“When we started working together five years ago, the Hungarian national team looked very different – Marco Rossi responded to this. – Now we have a national team that is really very confident, but because we know exactly how much work we have invested in improving. Those who now play in the Premier League and also those in the NB I. I can’t remember a single game, win or lose, where we didn’t fight. There are players that I have to highlight this time. One of them is Nego Loic. I remember how many people criticized his game in March and June. The other is Ádám Nagy, who has also received a lot of criticism. Both gave a snappy response with their game today. I’m not saying they’re better than their peers, but they’re just as great players.”
We asked the national team captain: if he were to bet, how much money would he have placed on the fact that Ádám Lang would pass Willi Orbán, that is, the right back to the center back, for the winning goal. Marco Rossi laughed and then replied: “Next time, we might attack with the striker duo of Lang and Orbán…”
Mihály Kata took the place of the injured Ádám Nagy in the hair. We wondered if it was not too much of a risk to inaugurate a newbie in an important match in Belgrade in the jersey with the crest.
“I’ve never been afraid of risks, and this was a risk I took— answered Marco Rossi. – He has been showing a stable, balanced game in MTK for a long time, we have been watching him for a long time. Born in 2002, he is very young and has talent. I never invite anyone by accident, I don’t usually give anyone a shirt with a coat of arms as a gift, Mihály Kata also deserved it by being able to introduce herself and stand her ground.”
