“A defender went with Salsa, I took the ball up to 20 meters, I couldn’t run anymore, I thought about kicking it from there”

– recalled the winning goal in the 92nd minute before the Euro, the footballer from Salzburg, who does not believe that everyone expected him to be a hero, but that he could only help the team.

The 20-year-old footballer admitted that he had had a big roller coaster last week, as he still did not seem to be able to play in this crucial meeting on Sunday, and then on Monday it turned out that he could still travel as they all had a negative coronavirus test. “With the joy of scoring, my whole career has passed me by, how I got so far from my childhood,” said the attacking midfielder.

Endre Botka spoke about how he felt that there was no other scenario to win. He added that even in the countryside he thought, Icelanders drove most of the way in vain. “Everyone knows what the situation is in the country. At eight in the evening, everyone has to be home, so we knew that everyone was watching the game. We also played for the health workers to give everyone a little bit of joy in this difficult situation. I felt like that now. We have to win for the whole country, “said the Ferencváros defender, who said the Icelanders do not have a serious position in the game.

Cosimo Inguscio, who replaced captain Marco Rossi, who was absent due to his coronavirus disease, thought the match was difficult to start, they could not find their place in the first 15-20 minutes, said it was partly mental and partly tactical, he remarked. , who was prevented from this being the only chance to reach the European Championship. “We consulted with Rossi during a break, we all faced that this opportunity could escape. Then the players came out hungry and the hungry one gets what they want. In the second half there was no objection. We deserved the victory, nobody can say that we defeated someone. ” – Said the second coach, who betrayed that they were in constant contact with Rossi, whom he called natural, saying that he was the captain, who had his shoulders loaded with responsibility, also discussed the exchanges with him.

Inguscio, who had worked with Rossi for nine years, also promised to join them for four years,

now they are also learning Hungarian together with Giovanni Constantino, who is also missing with a coronavirus disease.

“There were attempts to learn Hungarian, but our knife broke. There was an agreement between the three of us, if we go out, we will really learn. This bond would be important for both the players and the fans,” said Inguscio, who replaced Rossi for the third time. on the bench. , and after defeating Estonia and Wales, the team also won against Iceland. “It was a joke that my balance was better. But if Rossi had been on the bench, these three games would have been three wins. I am lucky to be sitting on the bench, but the result is never a matter of luck, but professional. – and preparation “.

Icelandic coach Erik Hamrén was very downtrodden. “We are very disappointed, but it is understandable, we were five minutes away from the European Championship. Congratulations, the Hungarians are looking forward to a fantastic summer. It is a match in which one team goes to heaven, the other to hell, we go to hell.” The Swedish specialist who has been managing the islanders for two years did not want to talk about his future, as he himself said, now is not the time.
