After a heartbreaking late meltdown in Hungary's first game on Tuesday which they lost 3-0 to defending champions Portugal, a team Rossi thought would be easier to face than France, the coach said he was happy for them to be the protagonists now.
Attila Fiola put the hosts ahead just before halftime but Antoine Griezmann equalised in the 66th minute to move France on to four points after two games and on track for the last 16. "We need to keep our feet on the ground. I'm not arrogant and saying we'll win in Munich, but we will do our best to make it a match," said Rossi, who took a swipe at critics who said he should have called up different players for the finals.
"A crowd, fans like we have at the stadium today, or against Portugal, or even five years ago during Euro 2016 -- we have unique fans so that's why we work to give them satisfaction," he added, before turning to the future for the national team.Several of Hungary's best players are just hitting their 20s, including injured midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, the team's most promising young player.
