The scene recalls Christian Eriksen's discomfort during Euro 2021. After only seven minutes of play, the Nations League meeting between the Netherlands and Hungary was interrupted, Saturday, November 16, after a player's discomfort on the sidelines. In the images, behind a forest of staff members, we can discern the silhouette of a person lying down and having convulsions. After the rapid intervention of doctors, a tarpaulin was deployed to isolate the victim.

10 minutes after the incident, the Hungarian Federation clarified on its X account that it was Adam Szalai, assistant to coach Marco Rossi and former Hungarian international striker (2009-2022). “His condition is stable and he is conscious”she wrote, specifying that he was on the road to the hospital in Amsterdam to be examined. The match has resumed.
