Marco Rossi: Heart, desire, tactical perfection

"Congratulations to the players! However, we don't have time to celebrate because we'll be playing in Italy in three days' time. We can win or lose, we can play well or badly, but we aren't afraid of anyone," Rossi emphasised after the match.

"Today we gained three points which few people had predicted would come our way before the Nations League started. We were very organised, we followed the tactics almost perfectly, and we displayed great desire. We were faced with a very difficult match against an excellent team but our attitude was fantastic. I'm also very happy many children were able to enjoy this match and the result too.

Even before the game, I said that against such a strong opponent, we should play our own game as best we can, while hoping our opponent won’t be at its best, and that’s how it turned out today. This victory is fruit of our endeavour, the victory of desire, because the boys played as a team. The Hungarian national team is now a team whose players play with all their heart".
