Career

society

Nikolics was born in what is now the Serbian province of Vojvodina in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to a Hungarian mother and a Serbian father. He began his professional career in his hometown with the Serbian club FK Senta. His first well-known station was the Hungarian club Barcsi SC , to which he moved on July 1, 2006 and which he left again on July 1, 2007 in the direction of Kaposvölgye VSC . After he drew attention to himself there, the Hungarian first division club Kaposvári Rákóczi FC noticed him and signed him on July 1, 2008. After three seasons and an impressive quota of 34 league goals in 48 league games, Nikolics moved during the winter break of the 2009 season / 10 within the Nemzeti Bajnokság to Videoton FC . With eight league goals in 15 league games, Nikolics was able to fit directly into the new team and was runner-up with his club behind Debreceni Vasutas SC that season . In the following season, however, the striker won the championship with Videoton FC and also reached the Hungarian Cup final, which was lost 3-2 to Kecskeméti TE in the Puskás Ferenc Stadium in Budapest . Nikolics, who scored five goals in the cup competition, was also able to score in the final, but only to make it 2: 3 in the 82nd minute of the game. After two victories in the Hungarian Supercup , a league cup victory, another participation in the final in the Hungarian Cup in 2015 and another championship in the same year, Nikolics left the club with an impressive competitive quota of 189 games, 108 goals and 32 assists and five titles and moved to Poland to the traditional association Legia Warsaw . There the two-footed striker, who has both Hungarian and Serbian citizenship, has a contract until June 30, 2018. In the first year he scored 28 goals in 37 games and won the Polish championship and the cup competition.

During the winter break 2016/17, he moved for a transfer fee of around 3 million euros in the Major League Soccer and received at Chicago Fire a three-year contract. In his first season he scored 24 goals and was awarded the "MLS Golden Boot" as the most successful goalscorer in the league.

National team

Nikolics is part of the extended squad of the Hungarian national team and played his first international match on October 11, 2013 against the Netherlands . However, the game in the Amsterdam Arena was lost 8-1 from the Hungarians' perspective in the 2014 World Cup qualification . Only 4 days later, Nikolics was not only able to book his first 90-minute bet in the qualifying game against Andorra , but also scored twice to make it 2-0. After Hungary failed to qualify for the World Cup, they managed to qualify for a European Championship for the first time in 44 years under German coach Bernd Storck .

At the European Football Championship in France in 2016 , he was included in the Hungarian squad. He came on twice as a substitute. In the second group game against Iceland he came into play when the score was 0: 1 and the team was able to force the equalizer. In the round of 16 Hungary were also behind with one goal against Belgium, but the final phase belonged to their opponents, who finally knocked Hungary out of the tournament 4-0.
