However, in the Slovakian national teams of younger age categories there are to find more ethnic Hungarian footballers, whom its worth to pay attention. [...] Fülöp Kiss won the gold medal with Slovan this year, and as a defensive midfielder he scored six goals on 29 matches. (A korosztályos szlovák válogatottakban azonban több magyar nemzetiségű játékos is akad, akire érdemes odafigyelni. [...] Kiss Fülöp idén aranyérmet nyert a Slovannal, és védekező középpályásként 29 bajnokin hatszor volt eredményes.)
