the Hungarian Football Federation, said to the
press, “X taught us everything we know about
football." Gusztáv Sebes, the Hungarian footballer
and coach, said of X, "We played football as X

30. 26. X and Y are legends at their clubs. It is

there, but that's only because his first touch is so
crap". And he is a “well” known football pundit who
