In the third round of Group A at the Euros, Szoboszlai came off the bench to score a last-minute winner, securing a 1-0 victory for Hungary over Scotland and keeping their theoretical chances of progression alive. After the match, Hungarian captain Szoboszlai spoke to the media, dedicating the win to the injured forward Varga.
Szoboszlai said, “Not just me, but the whole team dedicates this victory to Varga. I hope he’s okay; we’ve been told his condition is stable. I wish he could return to our hotel soon or, in any case, be with us. I was one of the first to reach him, and I don’t wish anyone to go through what he did. I don’t understand how protocols work in such situations; the medical staff shouldn’t have been hindered, or whatever happened there, because our entire bench was trying to help them get to him faster.”
“When Kevin Szoboszlai scored, I said that at moments like these, you can’t help but cry, can’t help but release your emotions. So, let it out. I’m glad he could score; he put in so much effort for it.”
“At the start, both teams were more cautious, focusing on defense. That’s what we expected, and I think they did too. Just as we predicted, there would be a shift in momentum in the last twenty minutes, and whoever wanted it more would prevail.”
“I don’t think we had issues against Germany; we just put in more energy, effort, and determination today, and fortune favored us this time. We’ve done our part, now we need to see if we can maintain this level.”
