Luck just wasn't with us

Istvan Kovacs looks back on the frustrating home match against Honved

Istvan Kovacs: - We did not start the match sharply, while our opponents gave a very disciplined impression during the game. Once Honved had taken the lead, they went on to defend it tactically, while we chased the result. Unfortunately luck ran out towards the end. We are professional players, and we cannot use this as an excuse, but it is a fact that the midweek cup match in Gent, included a long journey, which took a lot out of us, and we were especially tired mentally. Together with two of my team mates, Szlonoki and Haraszti, we are now at our U21 national team training camp, preparing for Wednesday's friendly match with Northern Ireland. We won our last two European matches, although we do not have a chance of going through, we would still like to beat both the Irish and Liechtenstein. We are preparing very seriously for Wednesday's friendly.
