SZABI Schön says signing for Wanderers has reignited his ambitions to break back into the Hungarian national team.
The wing-back has already earned eight caps for his country, the last of which was in November 2021, but has been in squads as recently as late 2022.
As team-mates Dion Charles, Luke Southwood, Eoin Toal, Josh Sheehan and Chris Forino headed out on international duty last week Schön admitted he was keen to get himself back on the radar of his national head coach Marco Rossi.
“I didn’t get a call right now for the Nations League fixtures, but it is fine because I am going to do my job,” he said.
“I am going to train for it and play for it and it is going to come. I am still young, and I believe in myself, and I believe that I can get back there one time. This is the most important thing.”
Schön signed from Fehérvár in the summer window and has started all four of Wanderers’ league games so far, making a good impression in what has been a tough start for the club.
“For most Hungarians, English football is the best football,” he said of his decision to move to League One. “This is the home of football so of course one of my dreams is to come over here and play for an English club. I really like this club, I really like the guys, the coaching staff and everything. I’m happy to be here.”
Wanderers host Huddersfield Town at the weekend looking to secure their first home win and first home goal in the league this season.
Managed by Michael Duff, who has nurtured aggressive and competitive League One teams at Cheltenham Town and Barnsley, the Terriers are likely to pose another physical threat to the Whites on Saturday.
Schön feels he is getting the hang of the English game, with a little local knowledge from his team-mates.
“I have adapted really well because I have tried my best. It was a really good experience to feel the fans when I played at home for the first game of the season. It was an unbelievable crowd and I hope we can have more of the same,” he told the club.
“Macca (John McAtee) told me that on the pitch he is a little bit of a @&#$ so I can say myself also that I am a player who is not the nicest on the field and can be really hard to play against.”
