Prior to the match against the English, Federal Captain Marco Rossi spoke of wanting his players to leave Wembley Stadium with their heads raised. Well, it’s worked since the team reached a 1-1 draw against the English.

“I think the boys followed tactical instructions throughout the match, but in the meantime, they struggled with heart and soul and added something plus. We also had a little luck. We played with an English team that might not have been on top. This may also have contributed to the draw. As far as I know, we didn’t get out in Wembley for the first time after 1953. It’s hard to accept that you’re a hero in Hungary if you win and an idiot if you win. We played an incredible European Championship three months ago, but I already said in the draw for the World Cup qualifiers that it would be dreamy to get out of the tournament, but our dreams are over. Regardless, it always hurts when non-real fans describe us after a bad result, ”Rossi said at a post-match press conference.

Following the match, several players evaluated the match in front of the M4 Sport’s live camera. FC Dallas striker Szabolcs Schön was the first to say he saw the 1-1 draw.
“We’ve been talking a line over the last few days about what needs to change, what else should be added to our game. Everyone put their hearts and souls into the match, everyone fought to the last breath. We deserved this point very much today. We talked about going out on the field boldly, not stopping to defend ourselves, but of course, if the match so desires, we can defend deeply, if we have the opportunity, we can play forward, and I think that came to the team. We wanted to show everyone today that it wasn’t just a coincidence that we almost advanced from the group at the European Summer Championships. We have shown that we can also compete with the English, ”said Schön, who is starting for the second time in the Hungarian national team, in front of the M4 Sport’s microphone.
In our lead, Loic Nego, who fought for the penalty, gained inalienable merit, revealing that he remembers the situation before the penalty, although he was not sure that an irregularity had occurred against him within the sixteen.
“We realized something was missing from our game, as if we had played a little shyly in the previous two games, but we were able to change that. Now we came with a completely different attitude, we wanted to prove that we can surprise our opponent, and we did. I think we were close to an even bigger surprise. We followed the master’s tactical instructions, everyone gave their maximum according to their abilities, ”Loic Nego evaluated the meeting, who then covered the situation before our lead when he fought a penalty.
“I remember the penalty: I saw that I wasn’t in the lead, and I also saw that the Englishman could only kick the ball with the left, which ended up hitting my head. Luckily, the referee saw the foul and also noticed that it happened within the sixteen, the latter I didn’t see or even perceive, ”Nego said.
Looking forward to the future, Adam Lang was already talking about the future.
“Wembley is a sanctuary of football and playing here in such an atmosphere is definitely an extra charge. Unfortunately, we are very far from the World Cup, our chances are almost zero, if not zero. The following matches should be used to analyze how we got here, what were the mistakes that led here. Getting to a world championship is a lot harder than getting to a European championship, but we still had that goal. Racer type everyone, obviously we don’t go up the track without wanting to win. We had a great series, we didn’t get out through 13-14 games, we had good performances, we had luck on our side. Then there are times when a person doesn’t have a day like that, things don’t come out that way, that doesn’t mean the team doesn’t want to win, there are simply some. These should also be handled in place, just as they should be when it goes very well. We need to think about the future, build and prepare for the next big series. There will be matches that are not without stakes, but they can be used to develop and play football more boldly, as we have done today, ”Lang explained to a reporter for M4 Sport.
