After the German avalanche that hit Scotland, who will be the team that will compete for the leadership of group A against Germany? Probably, the name of the number one rival will come out of this afternoon’s match at 3pm in Cologne between Hungary and Switzerland.

The favorite is the Swiss team that wants to dream again. At the last European Championship he reached the quarter-finals, surrendering on penalties against Spain after eliminating France, then world champions, from the penalty spot. This time coach Yakin’s national team doesn’t want to be a surprise, because he has experience (only Scotland and Germany exceed his average age of 28.2 years) and talent to think he can repeat himself. “The first goal is to win on my debut with Hungary, but I packed my bags to stay here for a long time”, said Granit Xhaka, captain and star of Switzerland who dreams big.

Coach Marco Rossi is already a sort of national hero in Hungary: if he were to actually bring the team he has coached since 2018 to the round of 16 of the European Championship, “a dream but also a goal”, he said, he would become a sort of father of the country. The 59-year-old who has also become a citizen of Hungary has faith in him, in the continuous growth of a team which under his guidance has blossomed so much as to earn the final stage undefeated and which in Germany expects to continue his growth . Hungary has not won against the Swiss for 26 years, but the talent of Szoboszlai, someone who conquered everyone in his first season at Liverpool, and the team that Rossi has built around him allows us to be optimistic. Three years ago the coach who came from Italy received applause but did not win: this time he also wants results.
Hungary (3-4-2-1): Gulacsi; Lang, Orban, Szalai; Bolla, A. Nagy, Shafer, Kerkez; Sallai Szoboszlai; Varga
