This weekend saw the end of the first round of fixtures for Group A3 in this year’s UEFA Nations League.
Germany travelled to Budapest to face Hungary looking for their first win in this year’s tournament. The Germans have been uninspiring in the previous two games against Italy and France and Hansi Flick will have been looking to change that as he looks to bring more proficiency to his side’s attacking play. Marco Rossi will be happy with Hungary’s position coming into this game. The Hungarians were sitting in second place before the game and although a loss would have seen them lose that place, a win would have seen them potentially move up to the first position.
The game finished in a 1-1 draw and Hungary remain in second above Germany. This tactical analysis will focus on the key tactics set by Rossi and how Hungary imposed them on Germany to help shape the result and performance of both teams.
Line Ups and Tactical Approach
Marco Rossi was forced into one change with Andras Schafer suspended, and so Barnsley midfielder Callum Style took his place in central midfield. Peter Gulacsi also returned to action having sat out the defeat to Italy.
Rossi also opted for one extra change as Attila Fiola replaced club teammate Loic Nego on the right-hand side.
