“Yozhef Yozhefovych had his own vision of football and believed that everyone must think like Sabо. However, the main problem is that he could not convey this vision. And reading his thoughts is unrealistic. How can the footballers understand him?

Everything was about emotions! Shouts, remarks, threats. For example, in a friendly match against Turkey, in the third minute, he started shouting at me, as I was nearby on the flank: “Oleg, what happened? Why aren’t the guys running?” Only the third minute of the match— and he is already yelling across the entire stadium with complaints to me about why the guys aren’t running,”— quotes Luzhny the publishing house Stretovych on its Instagram page.
