"I don't regret at all the decision to switch, now it is only about Hungary," he said, adding that although he did not particularly support Les Bleus at the 2018 World Cup, he "still smiled" when they won. Griezmann became a world star for Barcelona and France, while Nego's career took him from Nantes to Roma, then after spells at Standard Liege and Charlton, to Hungary.ĭespite Prime Minister Viktor Orban's hardline anti-immigration policies, Nego enthuses about "beautiful" Budapest where he lives with his wife and two children, even if the Magyar language is "a little complicated". Nego played alongside Griezmann for France when they won the U-19 European Championships in 2010, but since then the pair's career paths have diverged dramatically. It will be a pleasure to see them again," he smiled. "It was in my mind that I would be able to see old teammates, Antoine (Griezmann), Wissam Ben Yedder who I grew up with in the same neighbourhood (in Garges-les-Gonesse in the Paris region). "Bravo my Loic! Lajos!" screamed the television commentator, using his name in Hungarian, after Nego turned in a loose ball in the goalmouth, his first international goal.īefore running on that night at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, one of 11 host cities at Euro 2020, Nego knew that France were waiting for the winners in Group F.

In the play-off final against Iceland last November, his 88th-minute equaliser four minutes after coming on as a substitute hauled the Magyars back from the brink of defeat. Nego's €1.0m cheaper price leads him to be considered a far better budget enabler compared to Rodri and when you combine that with his superior goalscoring record, the decision to favour Nego in this head-to-head going into Matchday 1 is a relatively simple one.Nego swiftly rewarded Rossi for his faith with a memorable intervention that paved Hungary's path to the delayed Euro 2020 tournament that began Friday. The cost of both these two players is what separates them from a fantasy perspective. Rodri (€5.0m) has netted once for Spain in his international career back in 2020 Nego also scored the equaliser in their dramatic 2-1 victory over Iceland which saw them qualify for EURO 2020. Loic Nego (€4.0m) found the net for Hungary in their most recent competitive fixture, a 1-4 win over Andorra. Whilst both these two are defensive midfielders, we assess whether either are capable of proving fruitful EURO 2020 fantasy assets on Matchday 1. Can you beat the TSZ staff? Click below to join!
