Hungary's head coach Rossi spoke to the media after the Europa League group stage defeat to Germany, expressing no remorse for his team's performance and his expectations for the upcoming match against Scotland.
Talking about the showdown with Germany, Rossi candidly said that the team made mistakes but these are unavoidable in a soccer match. "We did make some mistakes, but mistakes are unavoidable in soccer. Germany and other world-class teams did play above us, which was clear to us before the match." Rossi said so.
Rossi praised Germany and believes they are most likely the favorites to win this year's Euro. "Germany are a strong team with world-class players who are really much better on the field." Nevertheless, Rossi was satisfied with the effort and response of the Hungarian players. "We put in a lot of effort tactically and mentally and the players responded very positively, I'm proud of them."
Reflecting on the game as a whole, Rossi felt that his team created a number of chances but lacked luck at key moments. "We did look unlucky in some moments, but that's part of the game and we have to accept it."
Looking ahead to the upcoming match against Scotland, Rossi emphasized the physicality of the Scottish team and said he expects his team to give their all. "Scotland is a very physical team, but I don't ask the players to necessarily score goals, I just want them to give it their all and show our true level for the fans."
