Hungary coach Rossi admits Liverpool ace Szoboszlai experiment

Hungary coach Marco Rossi admits trying Dominik Szoboszlai in a new position for their 2-2 draw with Lithuania.

The national team skipper scored on the night.

Rossi said, “My idea was for Szoboszlai to play football further back, but it didn't work out. It's as if we missed the first half completely; we left a large area for the opponent, who took advantage of it.

“The changes made during the break worked; the picture of the match completely changed; we broke through the opponent's defence several times, so we had a lot of chances.

“But the Lithuanian goalkeeper defended brilliantly, so we didn't manage to win."
