Blackburn Rovers player describes comments by Hungary manager Marcoo Rossi as ‘all nonsense really’
The “z” is silent in Szmodics. On recent comments made by Hungary manager Marco Rossi, the Blackburn Rovers number 10 has plenty to say.
“ has come out and said what he has said about me. I am not really sure where it come from as I have never spoken to anyone from that country. I am fully focused on playing for Ireland.
“It took a while, two or three years to sort out the passport, the birth and death certificates,” he said. “That’s all in the past now, it’s all sorted, I have my Irish passport, leaving camps, not being called up to camps, I am fully focused now on this camp and beyond.”“No it was never really a decision, it all came out of nowhere really, said I used that as a ploy to get in this squad, which is not what happened at all.
Despite scoring for fun in the English Championship, with 27 goals across all competitions this season, Szmodics went uncapped under Stephen Kenny, with two international call-ups since 2021 ending prematurely due to injury and a family issue back in England.
