Armenia Match a Vital Win for Hungary
The upcoming game against Armenia on October 11 is crucial for Hungary’s hopes of securing at least second place in their group. However, they will have to manage without key forwards Roland Sallai, who is serving a suspension, and Barnabás Varga, who was booked in the last match against Portugal.
Rossi’s Tactical Challenges Ahead of Armenia Fixture
Manager Marco Rossi is preparing for his 79th match with Hungary, positioned second in longevity among his peers, following the legendary Lajos Baróti. The pressing issue is how to compensate for the absence of Sallai and Varga. “Tóth Barna could be an option as a traditional striker,” Rossi stated, although alternative formations are being considered.
Key Tactics and Remaining Matches
The team’s strategy against Armenia will need to adapt, potentially including Dominik Szoboszlai in different roles. Rossi emphasized the need to dominate the match, echoing confidence in his players to create scoring opportunities and secure a vital win.
