In a recent Euro match where Hungary won against Scotland 1-0, there was a shocking moment when Hungarian player Varga was knocked unconscious during a collision and was in danger. After the game, Hungary captain Szoboszlai called on UEFA to change its rules.
During the match, after Varga collided with opponent Gunn, he lost consciousness. However, the medical team’s stretcher was slow to arrive, causing the Hungarian captain Szoboszlai to become furious. He took the stretcher and carried it to Varga himself. The medical team’s slow response angered the entire Hungarian team.
After the game, Szoboszlai said: “This looked really bad, it was terrible. I don’t know exactly how the medical team works and their procedures, but I think they should have immediately come on to treat the player, instead of coming slowly and then leaving. While I can’t decide on some things, I call on UEFA to change some things.”
“If someone on the pitch falls and is injured, especially if it’s obviously very serious, then I think medical staff should come in right away, even if the referee hasn’t stopped the game. They should rush in right away. A few seconds could make a big difference in the situation.”
However, UEFA later stated that their rules don’t prevent the medical team from immediately treating injured players.
