The Hungarian team best known as the Golden Team, the Mighty Magyars or the Magical Magyars, was honored as the best international football team ever in football history by BBC in 2016. Welcome to a brand new episode of emulating real life tactics where I’ve tried to replicate the tactical system by Gusztáv Sebes’ Hungary 1953 national team in Football Manager 2020. 105,000 spectators who had gathered inside the Empire Wembley Stadium at 16:45 were not prepared for what was about to unfold, and certainly not expecting to witness what would later be labelled the ‘Match of the Century’. On Wednesday 25th November 1953, that all changed. At the time, England had never lost a match on home soil to a nation from outside of the UK & Ireland region. In the early 1950s, despite the first four World Cup tournaments being dominated by Uruguayan (1930 & 1950) and Italian (1934 & 1938) success, England, by its press at least, still considered itself superior in the world game. Instead, it could very easily have been “It’s just like watching Hungary”, as odd as that would sound nowadays. In the modern day, when a sublime display of attacking football is witnessed, one might say “It’s just like watching Brazil”. It is often said of football that it was invented by the English and perfected by the Brazilians, and while the Scottish could challenge that view in terms of its invention, the humble Hungarians could also shout “what about us?” with regard to its perfection. ![]()
