EURO 2016: Bernd Storck – We deserved a draw

Hungary’s national team coach believes that his side primarily secured a draw against Iceland thanks to their fighting spirit. “I’d like to congratulate my team; they never for a moment gave up the fight and they deserve to be a step closer to progressing from the group” he said after the match.

“We attempted to play the kind of football which would ensure we were in contention right until the end. Iceland defended well but my players put a huge amount of work in. We had chances and in the end a goal came from one of them. We deserved the result; we did everything we could and got our reward in forcing an own goal. We again gave a fantastic performance; we gave our all, the players fought for each other. We win a lot with this point, which we achieved against a very strong opponent. It’s exceedingly difficult to play against such a defence; it’s difficult to create chances, and there weren’t many in the match. Our support is unbelievable, not just here but also back in Hungary; their help is of great importance”
