The Ulsan HD striker gained global attention when he entered as a substitute late in Hungary’s 3-1 loss to Switzerland in their Euro 2024 debut last Saturday. Fans were surprised to see the 6ft 3in player, weighing 86 kilograms, with a shaved head and a large beard, sparking a wave of memes on social media.

Reflecting on the viral posts, the forward admitted that some of the memes had an impact on him, although he generally takes them in stride. He acknowledged his appearance, stating that this is how he naturally is and that genetics play a significant role.

Speaking to the press, the Hungarian striker remarked, “The posts? Of course, one or two get to me, I usually have a laugh about it. I was born this way, I have this body shape. I’m not saying that I was this big when I was born, but I have a basic physique. Genetics – I can’t change that.”

Adam is set to return to action on Wednesday as Hungary prepares to face hosts Germany in a crucial Euro 2024 match at Stuttgart Arena.
