Martin Adam won every martial arts match.
The Hungarian team lost its first match at Euro 2024, but it was still memorable. And not only Barnabash Varga’s goal and Roland Shallai’s dribble, but also Martin Adam’s entry onto the field. He appeared in the 79th minute.
The number nine immediately impressed with its dimensions. His height is 190 cm, but it is difficult to give an exact weight. The latest official data is 95 kg. This is the weight indicated in the footballer’s profile on his club’s official website. For two years, the forward has been playing for the Korean team Ulsan Hyundai, with which he won the K-League twice.

“Oh, what people show up. The center forward Adam. You’ll appreciate it now if you haven’t seen it before. Powerful in every way,” this is how Okko Sport commentator Artyom Borisov introduced the player.
In his first episode, Adam pushed his opponents with his body and a second later he did it again and then crossed into the area. The ball returned to the sideline and Martín won the duel again. In the 90th minute + 3, the striker was able to equalize the score after a cross from Dominik Szoboszlai, but he did not reach the ball. In total, Adam spent 18 minutes on the field and did not lose a single match. And after the game he became a hero on social networks.

For English-speaking fans it is doubly fun that a footballer with such a physique plays in Hungary. The name of the country Hungary is very similar to hungry: “hungry.” By the way, the striker himself is known for his sense of humor. When asked what he did during the last Euro Cup, Adam replied that he drank beer at home. The striker played for the national team for the first time in 2022. At that time he was 27 years old and then had the best season of his career: 31 goals in 32 games for Hungarian club Paks.
Recently, in the Korean Championship, the striker does not appear so often in the starting eleven. But Ulsan Hyundai actively used the legionnaire to present his uniform at the shipbuilding dock. This seems to fit perfectly.
