“I would like to thank the guys because the Hungarian band is playing without fear, even against higher rated opponents, and has proven that it can compete with the best in the world in terms of physics, endurance and running,” said the Italian expert, who added: on a technical level, there is still some lag, but he is confident that he will soon be able to invite players to the national team who can help with this.
“Over the last 35 days or so, I’ve made a lot of progress and progress for the entire professional staff,” said Rossi, who highlighted, “we have a team, the boys are motivated and fit to do the tasks I ask of them.”
The 56-year-old captain put it this way, he still wants to play a more offensive football with the Hungarian national team, even if the rival is a higher-rated band.
“Of course, this could not be done against the Germans or the French here at the World Cup, they are not the Faroe Islands, Latvia or Lithuania,” said Rossi, who also said that “there was always room for improvement”. he himself works on this every day. “Not necessarily a good coach who is a good tactician, because tactical knowledge is the last thing you need, so I’m always trying to improve 360 degrees.”
According to the captain, one can only get better if we are aware of our mistakes and are not afraid to face them, and tactics should always be adapted to the abilities of the players available.
“There is no game system that is sure to win, but at the same time, our options against the French and Germans were significantly limited,” Rossi declared.
The manager said he would close almost every moment to the heart of this European Championship, which, although it lasted a short time for the Hungarians, was still a huge experience.
“The most moving moments are tied to the fans, the way they have been by our side all the way, and the way they have approached the national team.
It is often said that football is just a game, but it is not really just because it moves emotions very deeply in a person, “the captain said.
According to Rossi, at the team level and individually, several players have attracted attention at this European Championship, so they can expect to be earned from more prestigious tournaments as well.
“As long as I become the captain of the Hungarian national team, there will be no setback at the level of characters, because I will only invite those who run and fight. Those who do not have a fighting spirit, despite being technical, are not good at international level,” said the Italian expert. added that in 2019, after losing 2-0 against Wales to the Cardiff European Championship qualifiers, it was stated that he would either resign or change the selection criteria.
“As long as I feel from the fans what I felt in the last matches, I want to stay in the captain’s position. The Hungarian national team is the property of the Hungarian people, and I am not responsible for the team’s results, but for the Hungarian people,” Rossi emphasized. He pointed out that striker Ádám Szalai has received a lot of criticism and criticism for always counting on the Mainz player, but he says that the current team captain of the national team is “irreplaceable, irreplaceable”, so he will continue to be there in the frame.
The captain said if he could change something afterwards, he would have exchanged differently in the first group match against the Portuguese.
Rossi said of the three opponents’ expected European appearances, they can all get far in the continent, but in team play he considers the French and Germans really strong, the defending defender Portugal has not provided a convincing performance so far.
He said he could even make it to the finals of his national team, but if the world champion meets the French in the semi-finals, he will have a very difficult task, because the Hungarian captain Didier Deschamps is “insurmountable if he plays as a team.”
The Hungarian national team was beaten 3-0 from Portugal in the Puskás Arena, then played 1-1 with the French, and on Wednesday reached a 2-2 draw against Germany in Munich, finishing fourth in its group.
