According to Marco Rossi, the team is back.
As we reported, Hungary achieved its first win in the 2024 League of Nations competition. Marco Rossi's side won 2-0 in Bosnia, the captain told M4 Sport after the match.
“When you play in a stadium like this, against an opponent like this and on a field like this, it's not easy. But it wasn't easy against the Germans either. We struggled in the first 10 minutes, then we entered the game slowly. We built well, and we Opportunities.
We often tried to bring in Varga Barni or Salai Rüli, and they were able to create very good situations. If we had used them better, we would have suffered less in the match. At the beginning of the second half, our goal came at the right time.
“Today's match also showed that the team is back, that we are working for each other, and the situation was good.”
His first goal for the Hungarian national team was similar to the one he scored against the Dutch. Marco Rossi asked the players to play directly and finish the play with a shot, so that the Bosnians would not counter-attack the team.
“There was something special about our first goal. We asked the players to play directly and shoot on goal in the last quarter of the pitch. We had to finish the proceedings so they wouldn't tackle us, we don't want that. I feel like the team spirit has returned.”
At the end of the interview, Marco Rossi said that it is difficult to imagine Hungary reaching one of the first two places, but it is not impossible.
We hope to achieve our goal, and now we have a chance to reach the playoffs, but the Dutch and Germans are ahead of us. It's hard to imagine that we'll catch up with them, but we started in the Chinese League first, then came the Second League and the Australian League, so it's not impossible. We have to be on the ground, I feel we have three good games behind us, and our performance is constantly improving.
