Hungary have surprised us all as they sit on the verge of the knockout rounds and this was the perfect time to speak to a man close to our hearts on the podcast, Adrian Sipos, who discusses his opinion-dividing defensive style, his long road to the national team and a surprise critic every time he gets a red card.
