Hungary boss discusses his death and Red Hot Chili Peppers after England win

mirror.co.uk, 15 June 2022, 07:24
England suffered their worst home defeat since 1928 as Hungary continued their impressive start to their Nations League campaign and Marco Rossi has opened up on his side's win

Marco Rossi has admitted he will celebrate Hungary's memorable 4-0 win over England by watching the Red Hot Chilli Peppers perform at the Puskas Arena on Wednesday evening.

The 57-year-old guided his side to one of their greatest ever victories with a comprehensive success at Molineux thanks to Rolland Sallai's brace and goals from Zsolt Nagy and Daniel Gazdag. John Stones was sent off to cap off a frustrating night for the Three Lions, who remain without a win in their Nations League campaign.

It was a win that took Hungary to the top of Group C with Germany and Italy just behind. When reflecting on the victory Rossi explained how his team managed to overcome England, who they had beaten just 10 days prior.

He said: "We knew that playing against England would be very difficult for us, we were aware of the fact we would have to suffer. We struggled a lot but we did it all together as a team with huge sacrifices.

"It started from the strikers who ran a lot and they helped the team, they were the first line of defence. But you can never achieve a result like this unless you are lucky.

"We put all of our thoughts on the pitch, we tried to follow all of the tactical indications without selfish attitudes, helping each-other and being a team. When Hungary are able to play together, for every kind of opponent, it is difficult to win a game.

"We need to keep our foot on the ground because in this moment we have seven points, and if we are lucky, we could win the league. It will be, in that case, a miracle. No one in their dreams could imagine this result, I am happy for all the players, the staff, the fans and the country."

Should England stick with Gareth Southgate for the World Cup? Let us know in the comments below!

He added: "I said to our president and to our prime minister when I took this position, I said I would like to leave a sign of my presence if I leave. At this moment, this sign could be seen.

"What is making me happy is that everybody will die. I'm sure they give me one minute silence for this when I die. This is a great achievement for me."

There is no doubt Hungary will cherish every moment from the win but Rossi stated he will go and watch a music gig instead. He said: " The guys are celebrating in the dressing room, singing, and on the way back I think they will celebrate too. But that is it, tomorrow I will be busy with everything I have got to do.

"In the evening, I will go to watch the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. It will be nice in the Puskas Arena and then the day after I will go home because I miss my family, my son and my daughter."
