In the second round of the European Championship group stage, Hungary, which played at home at the Puskas Stadium in Budapest, drew 1:1 with France, the biggest favourite to win the championship, and won a glimmer of hope of qualifying in the group of the dead. Whether they qualify or not, the draw with world champions France is enough for all fans to remember the name of the Hungarian team. Although it is a small football country, Hungary has a legend in the history of football - Puskas, and the "Puskas Prize" won by Son Xingyu last year is named after him.
It can be said that Puskas is to Hungary as Bailey is to Brazil. Puskas was born on 1 April 1927 to a middle-class family in kiszpes, a small town in Budapest, Hungary, whose original name was Fernz-Putzzede-Bairo, and when he was ten years old, his father, Ferenc the Elder, changed their family name to Puskas. Puskas' father was also a professional player, and after retiring, he also coached the local team Giespester. During his coaching, he recruited his son and his son's good friend Bosik into the team, and the two later became teammates of the Hungarian national team. Since Puskas's age did not meet the minimum criteria for signing a contract at that time, he trained and grew up in the echelon and did not officially sign until the age of 12.
In November 1943, at the age of 16, Pushkars made his first appearance in Giespester, and in 1949 Giespester was taken over by the Hungarian Ministry of Defense as an army team, and the players were awarded the title, and Puskas was nicknamed "Flying Major".
In 1948, Puskas scored 50 goals in 32 league appearances, winning the First Hungarian League Golden Boot, and his superb goal efficiency also made Puskas the top scorer in Europe that year.
In 1949, Puskas scored 36 goals in 30 league games, leading the team to the Hungarian League championship for the first time and becoming the league's top scorer. During his time with the team, Puskas won the Hungarian First Division six times and the league's top scorer four times. In 1956, there was a coup d'état in Hungary, Puskas and others were with Humved in the first leg of the Champions League to challenge Athletic Bilbao away, the team learned of the turbulent situation in the country, the players decided not to return home for the time being, Puskas and Kochis and others chose to stay in Spain.
In 1958, at the age of 31, Puskas came to the big five leagues and joined Real Madrid. At that time, Pusksh was questioned by the outside world for his age and body fat, but time will prove that Real Madrid's choice was correct. From 1958 to 1966, Puskas, along with Argentine Di Stefano, formed Europe's most feared front: Puskas won la Liga's top scorer four times, helping Real Madrid win five consecutive La Liga titles and three European Cups. In the 1960 Champions League final, Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3, and Puskas scored four goals, becoming the first player in the history of the Champions League to complete the senior year in the final.
