A football pitch on an October afternoon; a coach bellows instructions to his players. All 22 are in a clean, dark blue strip, all are in their mid-teens, all listen attentively.

To the casual observer, it might be any youth training session in central Europe. But this is no ordinary bunch of would-be Ronaldos at kick-about: nearly half the players have played for the national youth team; and all aim to play outside Hungary at senior – and well-paid – level.
