Nagy player profile

Hungarian football, a fertile ground for talented players that has always been confidently and successfully harvested by Bologna FC, will have another of its products wearing red and blue this season. Adam Nagy is an intelligent midfielder who has just won the Hungarian title with Ferencvaros and played for his country at the European Championships and now he will become the eighth Hungarian to wear our shirt. Younger fans will never forget a world-class player like Lajos Detari who never quite reached the heights he could and should have scaled. Older fans might remember the thunderous right foot of Stefano Mike, the great centre forward of the years of rebuilding in the ‘40s and ‘50s. Bologna’s expert fans will endlessly reminisce about, among others, goalkeeper Koch and midfielder Sarosi as well as knowledgeable and astute managers Lelovich and Kovacs. The most decorated Rossoblu Hungarian of all, however, remains ‘the Maestro’ Arpad Weisz who managed the greatest side in Bologna’s history.

Nagy is a tidy and tactically intelligent player as well as an excellent character to have in the dressing room and he is always at the heart of his teams’ moves. He’s a perfect defensive shield and can play in any position in a central midfield made of two or three players. Recently, he reached the round of 16 at Euro 2016 with Hungary where he partnered club teammate Zoltan Gera in a defensive partnership in front of the back four to help guard against the threat of attacking midfielders. A mainly right-footed player, Nagy came straight up through the Ferencvaros youth system and quickly made his first-team debut with the added pressure of being lauded as an up-and-coming prospect. Since then, he has never left the starting XI of choice for the Hungarian champions who won their 29th league title and 22nd Hungarian Cup just a couple of months ago. Simultaneously, Nagy made his way through the international youth system and skipped straight from Under-20 level to the first team, making just one appearance for the Under-21s although he had to do a lot of gym work to bulk out. Since his debut against Northern Ireland, he has been a mainstay of Bernd Storck’s Hungary side. In July 2016, he made a permanent move to Bologna FC.
