Adam Martin, Hungary’s “super-heavy tank,” came on as a substitute in their opening match against Switzerland. Despite Hungary’s 1-3 loss, his large frame became the subject of ridicule from fans. Today, he addressed the mockery and said he isn’t bothered by it.
“Those posts mocking me? Of course, I saw one or two comments like that on the platforms. I usually just laugh them off. I was born this way, and I am still like this. I’m not saying I was born as big and bulky as I am now, but this is how my genetics are, and I can’t change that fact.”
In the first match between Hungary and Switzerland, Martin replaced veteran Szalai in the 79th minute with Hungary trailing 1-2. Manager Marco Rossi’s intention was clear, hoping Martin’s presence would disrupt the Swiss defense, exploiting their potential fatigue and mounting a late equalizer push.
