Hungary will face hosts Germany in the second round of the upcoming Europa League group stage. Prior to the match, Hungary's head coach Rossi attended a press conference to share his thoughts and expectations for the match.
Rossi began by emphasizing that in the world of soccer, past results do not determine future results. "The past doesn't matter, it can be looked back on, but it doesn't affect tomorrow's game." He said. Talking about the loss in the first match, Rossi said that his team conceded two goals due to mistakes and such a performance is costly in a tournament like the Europa League.
Rossi has high praise for the German team he will be playing against. He believes that Germany is stronger than Hungary in terms of strength, but this should be an incentive for the team to give their best. "We know that Germany are better than us, but this should also motivate us to fight even more." He said. Rossi hopes that his team will be able to get points in tomorrow's match, but it will require a perfect performance from the team and every player will have to give 100 percent.
Reflecting on Germany's performance in the first leg, Rossi praised them for being the only team to completely dominate and never hesitate throughout the match. At the same time, he said that the Hungarian team needs to seek a comeback and show the real strength and value of the team.
Despite the fact that Hungary are unbeaten in their last three matches against Germany and have even beaten them 1-0 in a UEFA Europa League match in 2022, Rossi emphasized that the current German team is different from the previous ones, as they have regained a core player like Kroos.
Speaking about Germany boss Nagelsmann, Rossi spoke highly of him. "I think Nagelsmann is a top coach." He said.
