Friday May the 13th will always be remembered by the City Group’s January signing — Zalán Vancsa. The date is often associated with connotations of bad luck, but this one only reaped good fortune for the 17-year-old.
On midday, Hungary’s national team manager, Marco Rossi, announced his squad for the country’s Nations League encounters with England, Italy and Germany in June, and Vancsa’s name made the list.
Across the capital, Vancsa was sitting on a tram on his way home from training, trying to fathom the prospect of becoming Hungary’s youngest player since 1918.
