The Hungarian nationwide group, which is getting ready for the European Championship, will play a warm-up match in opposition to Eire in Dublin on Tuesday from 20:45.
M4 Sport, m4sport.hu and Kossuth Rádió will broadcast the Eire-Hungary warm-up match reside on Tuesday from 8:45 p.m.
This isn’t the primary time that the Hungarian nationwide group prepares for the European Championship with a match in opposition to Eire: the state of affairs was comparable earlier than the earlier continental match. It’s true that in 2021 the Hungarian nationwide group was the sector selector, so no objectives had been scored within the Szusza Ferenc Stadium in Újpest.
And the selection didn’t fall on the Irish once more by likelihood: as Marco Rossi additionally acknowledged on the press convention earlier than the match, with Tuesday’s assembly, the nationwide group is usually getting ready for the Euro group match in opposition to the Scots.
“It is tough to play in opposition to Eire, this was evident from their matches in opposition to Switzerland and Belgium, they performed very aggressively in opposition to the highest groups, defended nicely, taught them a lesson. A bodily group, with gamers who’ve skilled in a number of English leagues, I count on a high-level and intense assembly, maybe this match is usually for our preparation in opposition to Scotland, it will be important how we are able to deal with the tough moments” – mentioned the captain of the Hungarian nationwide group about Tuesday’s opponent.
Realizing this, there’s a good likelihood that this time (additionally) experimentation will play the principle function, the skilled employees will give the essential group an opportunity. And so perhaps we are able to get solutions (or no less than get nearer to solutions) to such vital questions as who would be the primary goalkeeper and the way the protection will line up within the match in Germany.
4 questions earlier than the beginning of the European Championship, to which we are able to get solutions within the coaching matches
Who would be the primary goalkeeper? How does the protection stack up? Will there be extra experimentation? Are we touring to Germany undefeated?
Concerning the latter, the captain revealed on the press convention that since 2019, he has been just about unstoppable from the nationwide group’s again three, however he has solely often had the chance to play within the lately concluded Bundesliga season. Attila Szalai will likely be given a spot, however will make his debut within the Hungarian nationwide group in March Márton Dárdai will likely be there at first.
What can be sure is that the captain can not depend on his 4 gamers in Dublin: Attila Fiola though he’s in coaching after his damage, he can not enter the sector till Krisztofer Horváth he’s coping with a minor damage. Subsequent to them, there are three gamers who couldn’t be part of the coaching session in Telki final week on account of membership commitments, amongst them Ádám Martin will already be within the squad, Bolla Bendegüz and Daniel is wealthy however not but – the previous performed within the Swiss Cup remaining on Sunday (and gained it in a penalty shootout along with his group), whereas the latter scored a objective within the Philadelphia Union championship and can solely be part of his teammates on Tuesday.
It may be mentioned about their opponent on Tuesday that they’re nowhere close to in bomb type: they’re Irish nationwide group he remained winless in his final 4 matches (in opposition to the Netherlands, New Zealand, Belgium and Switzerland). The islanders did not even handle to qualify for the European Championship, they may solely beat Gibraltar of their qualifying group, they misplaced forwards and backwards in opposition to the trio of France, Holland and Greece.
So it is no marvel John O’Shea, based on the nationwide group captain of the Irish nationwide group, who was appointed quickly in February, a very tough match awaits his group. The 118-times capped former Manchester United participant acknowledged on the press convention earlier than the match that his group should enhance primarily in attacking play with a view to obtain an excellent consequence.
Group, laborious work, starvation for achievement – the Irish captain praised Marco Rossi’s group
After all, that is no shock figuring out that the Irish have scored a complete of 1 objective of their final 4 video games, whereas if we have a look at the already talked about European qualifiers, they scored seven instances in opposition to Gibraltar in two video games (3-0 at residence, 4-0 away), however within the six video games performed in opposition to the opposite three rivals, they may solely rating two objectives in whole.
We hope that, not like the 2 earlier matches between the 2 nationwide groups, this time the match won’t finish in a goalless draw – if it does, the unbeaten streak of the Hungarian group will proceed and might already depend to fifteen matches. Our group will journey residence after the match in opposition to the Irish, after which on Saturday, they may maintain the European Championship check in opposition to Israel on the Nagyerdei Stadium in Debrecen.
The 2 warm-up matches of the Hungarian nationwide group, in addition to the European matches of the Rossi group – and naturally all different matches from the match in Germany – will likely be broadcast reside on M4 Sport and m4sport.hu.
