Gulacsi acknowledged the team's unity, he said:
"We have a clear structure of how we want to play. And an incredible team spirit.”
"Everyone knows where they stand and what their job is. Of course, we have an exceptional player in Dominik Szoboszlai, but we don't have a superstar.
"Everyone is equal. We are all pulling in the same direction."
Gulacsi, who previously played with Szoboszlai at RB Leipzig and also had stints with Liverpool and Hull City, understands the midfielder's capabilities intimately.
Gulacsi remains confident in the 23-year-old's abilities. He further remarked:
“He is our key player, as a character on the pitch and as a captain. To have such leadership at such a young age is extraordinary.”
"You can feel what it means to play for our country. He could easily come to us from Liverpool and play at half speed, but he gives everything he has.”
"He wants to be on the pitch for 90 minutes every game. We have no limits when it comes to physical performance."
