Captain of the Russian team, Stanislav Cherchesov He first responded to the National Sport question about how angry he was when the Hungarian team led 3-2 from a three-goal deficit.
“We wanted to win, it didn’t change after three zeros, the other question was that for some reason we loosened up a bit, so we paid a very high price, we scored two goals. In such cases, it’s not my job to get angry at the edge of the field, but to lead the team. That’s why we changed and we didn’t even allow more goals for the opponent. After the match, I congratulated my players on the victory and the six points we scored in these two games.
He said that the Hungarian national team did not surprise them tactically, but at the same time he likes our young team. Russian journalists also asked if he had placed a spy behind the Hungarian bench, as the tactical instructions could be heard quite well in the empty Puskás Arena.
“I don’t know Italian, but it’s not a bad idea, although I would have to learn Turkish for the next game …”
Finally, he added: he hopes that the next time the two teams can play in front of an audience at the Puskás Arena, in his opinion it is conceivable that a different result would have been achieved then …
Federal captain of the Hungarian national team, Marco Rossi evaluated in light of what he said before the meeting: this time performance is more important than result.
“We were unlucky, but at the same time we were able to be happy with the performance. If we look at the statistics of the match, we were better than the Russians in all factors except the number of goals. We got two out of three for the same mistake, reacting late on the move. This time has yet to be automated, however, there were some who were more tired. But in terms of performance, we played well, we played better than the Russians.
According to the Italian coach, the Hungarian team has proven to be a worthy rival for nationally ranked teams such as the Turks and Russia.
“We deservedly won in Turkey, and I don’t think we deserve a loss tonight because we went from zero three to two three so we had a chance to draw. I don’t remember that in the last eight years since I worked in Hungary, this kind of thing happened to the national team.
Then he was asked how he sees the odds in qualifying for the European Championship against Bulgaria after these two matches.
“I would throw the ball back: how do you see it? I think we have a reason to be optimistic, but I may have a specific point of view. I have always been of the opinion that if the performance and results are not correct, I can stand my ground.
They also asked the captain if Dominik Szoboszlai was really angry when he replaced him.
“He didn’t take it with a bad name, he could count on it, it was our agreement too, because he recently had a minor injury. This was an advantage for him to avoid taking unnecessary risks. As long as the game was open, I kept him on the field, but the end result did not depend on his replacement.
