'Absolute unit': Fans have fallen in love with Hungary's No 9 Martin Adam at Euro 2024 with striker featuring as a substitute in defeat to Switzerland

Hungary may have lost their opening game of Euro 2024 as they were beaten 3-1 by Switzerland but one player caught the eye of fans.

Martin Adam, the Hungary No 9, entered the fray as a substitute in the 79th minute as he came on for Milos Kerkez.

The 29-year-old, who plays for South Korean side Ulsan HD, was described as an 'absolute unit' by fans. 

One fan wrote: 'The Hungary no.9 is a absolute unit.'

Another user commented that Adam looks more like a centre-back than a striker. They wrote: 'Hungary no.9 is the most centre back looking striker I’ve ever seen'.

Another wrote: 'F*****g hell Hungary’s no.9 is an absolute unit'. 

A further user added: 'This Hungary’s no 9 that just came on looks like an actor in those Viking movies'. 

Switzerland took the lead in the 12th minute through Kwadwo Duah, with Michel Aebischer making it 2-0 just before half time.

Barnabas Varga got a goal back for Hungary in the second half but Breel Embolo added a third goal for Switzerland late on. 

Adam, who made his Hungary debut in March 2022, has made 23 appearances for his country.

Hungary will face Germany and Scotland in their two remaining group stage fixtures.
