HOME & AWAY KITS:

József ZAKARIÁS (left half) played deeper than József BOZSIK (right half). ZAKARIÁS would screen the defence and form a back four alongside BUZÁNSZKY, LÓRÁNT and LANTOS when defending deep. BOZSIK is the central playmaker. Centrehalf LÓRÁNT would sweep behind his fullbacks when they ventured forward.

Nándor HIDEGKUTI, although wearing the #9 shirt, played deeper than PUSKÁS and KOCSIS, in a withdrawn creative role, playing near BOZSIK.

Yes, thanks. The formation I posted was the players' position "on the paper". On the field it was like you described it.
EDIT: Maybe you could have added an arrow for Budai tracking back as he played deeper than Czibor and gave some help in the defensive phase.

Updated formations, piece takers & team strategy.

Thanks guys for the update. I'd like be born that decade to see them playing, Magical team. Upset for their World Cup loss.
