A boring game and what is behind it. Subjective reporting of nemzetisport.hu after the Greece-Hungary (0-0) European Championship qualifiers.
Before the “big match”, they met two types of fans around the stadium. One of them came together with his family and talked about the role of Pal Dardai, to the question “How does you expect the battle against the Greeks”.
A middle-aged man from the aforementioned group, who is a coach of a kids club and came here with his disciples, said he hoped a good result and Dardai would be able to start the change.
A father of three said he believed in the group and Dardai. He thinks the coach brought professionalism from Germany and could be the savior of the Hungarian football.
Another group of supporters approached the match from a different point of view.
A DAC-fan said he was a little disappointed. So far, they had come by several buses, but now one car was hardly full. They showed solidarity with the protesters against fan card. He thought it was strange that as a Slovak citizen from Dunaszerdahely, he did not require this card, but his Hungarian relatives did.
A little tipsy fan from Eger complained about the mood. He said the stadium is not a theater.
In the stadium, a person responsible for mood called the audience with a megaphone to cross their fingers, shortly before the start.
The flag “choreography” organized by MLSZ/HFF (Hungarian Football Federation) – people were waving the miniature flags, which were placed on their seats did not look bad with the tricolors brought from home. Sometimes a “Go, Hungarians!” sounded; but in addition, only the Greeks’ rhythmic drums reminded that it was a football match.
According to nemzetisport.hu, the two team’s forgettable production left its mark on the mood, but the authors got what they expected: they predicted a “hear heavy” (Greek) 0-0. The Greeks attacked more, but for Hungary – as Dardai also said – a draw was enough for keeping the hope of the qualification. With a not beautiful, but organized game, Hungary got one point, with which Dardai preserved his credibility and the team kept its 3rd place.
That is, those who see Dardai as a savior could go home satisfied. But those who wanted a wonderful football experience, probably they left disappointed. After that, the team does not have to expect UEFA punishment, since the hardest rhyme was the “you are stupid”, addressed to the referee.
Currently, Romania is the first in the team with 13 points, the second is Northern Ireland with 12 points, and the third is Hungary with 8 points, followed by Finland (4), the Faroe Island (3) and Greece (2).
