How different is it to prepare like this …

It is also bad to think about the mood of the national team for a clash against the Serbs if they had not reached the European Championship against Iceland four days ago. But instead, the country could have euphorically celebrated the exit, except that on Sunday, before the League of Nations game against Serbia, there was a near-extinct horror movie in the vicinity of the Puskás Arena. Due to the epidemic situation, an hour and a half before departure, only a few cars rushed back home, so that by eight o’clock everyone was within the four walls; in the direction of Stefánia út we only saw two or three people walking, and next to the fence that surrounds the sand, half a dozen teenagers photographed the installation, which is magnificent in red-white-green colors and offers a magnificent view.

Players were less interested in the view tonight. The team was seriously depleted in the clash against the Serbs, seven were missing, so the team sent to the field was not completely used to it. Twenty minutes into the match, the Serbs had already gone ahead: several people made mistakes in the action, Ádám Lang lost a duel, Ákos Kecskés appeared for the national team, Endre Botka, who was trying to save, and the shooter jumped at the shooter. they could score a goal from their attack.

However, he could not speak in front of the house, because the Hungarian footballers had more balls, took more initiatives and fought with enthusiasm for the equalization. In front of the team captain, Nikolics Nemanja searched for empty areas, next to him Dominik Szoboszlai tried to color the game or threatened the away goal with a free kick. However, not from a fixed position, but at the end of a really nice action, our national team tied, the shape of the back of the Serbs was condensed in vain, there was a gap. Zoltán Gera, who was in front of the bench, also applauded selflessly, which is not surprising as he knew how to make jumps like Nikolics Nemanja’s goal pass at that time.

The second half started at a somewhat more restrained pace, with fewer gates in danger, and perhaps contributing to neither of them wanting to open too much in the mind of the tie. Not to mention, the series of exchanges completely wrecked the game, and the health teams also had to run several times to the grass to care for a footballer. There was no great Hungarian or even Serbian pressure, which is commendable, that if the ball was at home, it had an honor. However, the side changes were not really successful, most of the starts failed on goal, the Serbian defenders regularly headed the ball back onto the field.

However, there was no problem with the vocal cords: as there were no fans in the stadium, all the screams of the footballers were heard well, sometimes there was quite a lot of noise in the arena. The entire offensive section of the Hungarian team was replaced, Dominik Szoboszlai was no longer on the field at that time, who seemed to leave the field a bit disappointed, he certainly wanted to score another goal, he was closer to that in the first half.

In the last ten minutes there were chances against both teams, Dénes Dibusz also had to make a great defense, and Endre Botka, who had several good rhythms, blocked, but by not scoring a goal, both bases were forced to catch a point. Overall, the Hungarian team did not disappoint this time either, they played a draw for the role against stronger Serbs in the Nations League and there were no complaints about the performance shown, even if mistakes were made in the game.

Another match will take place on Wednesday at the Puskás Arena – Turkey will be in second place in the B-League table.
