We didn't ask for training - thoughts after the Hungarian-German.
We said in the stadium that we did not ask for training: we played football and cheered at the highest level.
The fans and the Hungarian national team proved themselves on Saturday night, in the new sanctuary of Hungarian football. In addition to the excellent, well-organized game, I can say with the experience of being on site: in front of the whole world
we made it clear what our response was to last year's unqualified provocation by the Germans and to UEFA's silence and penalty against Hungary.
In nearly seventy thousand voices, we said what our response was to last year's whistling of our national anthem, to rainbow propaganda, to malice that smelled of armpits, ass and feet at the same time, to hatred stemming from stupidity and humiliation stemming from calculation at a football match. What is our response to the ridiculous execution of our fans in Munich, to the introduction of politics into the stadiums, to everything that is currently happening in the world: to the medieval reflexes of looking for a scapegoat, and to the fact that if three idiots boo in the stands, then we condemn a country (plus a closed gate, base), if the Hungarian children are raging in the stands, then racism, if the English trample their own ticket collectors and destroy London before the Euro final and the big European cities again and again, that is fine.
In the voice of the stadium, we said that we do not ask for discipline and for former colonial powers to "educate" us in 2022.
First with our silence, then with the infernal noise, we said that we dream of what we want. We responded simply and effectively to last year's madness, perhaps we even forgave it: we played football and cheered at the highest level.
The most exciting moments of the match on video!
So the difference has emerged: on the one hand, they force their political bullshit, they make us believe that putting a criminal at the center of our "religion" called BLM (who happens to be called George Floyd) is a good thing. In this case, there is no stopping. In such cases, screaming activists rush onto the pitch during our national anthem, with impunity, as if we had gone to Munich to kill.
And on the other hand, it is also the case that almost seventy thousand people speak in the voice of joy and patriotism. It is also the case that the times that we have almost forgotten are returning: that football at the national team level is about football and national identity.
Let's note this, because it is worth more than marching in the League of Nations with a fantastic game. Let's remember:
they greeted us with a rainbow flag and hatred, we stood and listened, then applauded their anthem.
That makes the difference.
What is even more important is football: twenty or thirty years ago we lost to almost everyone in important matches who came across us, nowadays we have a realistic chance of catching the English, French, Germans, Croatians, and we catch them, again and again: in stakes matches , in front of almost seventy thousand Hungarians. Twenty to thirty years ago, we didn't have high-quality facilities, now we do. Cleanliness, organization, i.e. forms that show the power of well-being,
frames for something that replaced nothing in Hungary.
Our club teams are advancing more and more in the European leagues, we have European-level classics. I think that's called development. This is how national sports and national memory are built.
Then, if on Sunday we still read on mainstream portals with a hundred million readers that "independent observers" sweated in the Budapest night until they spotted something, a drunken man roaring in the bathroom, or a tattoo in the peace center, and then they knead manure out of the miracle, we don't care. : we have been standing high above them since Saturday night.
