In Saturday's (15) Group A match of the European Cup, the Hungarian team, faced with an unfavorable situation, accidentally used a "mysterious treasure" - Martyn Adam. The 1.91-meter-tall "giant striker" attracted the attention of fans around the world with his unique appearance and physique, and some even wondered if he had the qualifications of a professional athlete.
In the 79th minute of the match, Martin Adam was called into action. Although he failed to help Hungary turn the game around and allowed the Swiss to score another goal, eventually losing 1-3, he created a buzz on the Internet because of his giant-like size and weight of about 200 pounds.
Despite his appearance being different from the typical soccer player, Martyn Adam has had a stellar career with South Korea's Ulsan HD. He has contributed 17 goals and 8 assists in 54 appearances there.He was first called up by the Hungarian national team in 2022 and has contributed 3 goals and 3 assists for the national team so far, including 2 goals in the current Euro qualifiers.
Although the size of Martin Adam's body has raised questions about his strength, his performance in this game was still noteworthy. In only 11 minutes of playing time, he had 9 touches, 4 turnovers, 5 passes, and 3 successes. Although he failed to play the role of "secret weapon", his presence certainly increased the complexity of the game.
