"I have never been at a training camp for this length of time"

This is your second training camp as a Videoton player. Are there any differences between this one, and the one in the summer in Slovenia?

I have to say that I am surprised that the training sessions here are a little bit tougher than back in the summer. It is true to say that there is always more emphasis placed on the physical side of things during the winter break. However, I would not have thought that it would have been harder than the Slovenian training camp. I was wrong, and we have been running a lot, but luckily there is always some ball work as well, so it is more enjoyable. There is also plenty of strengthening work involved in the program. 

Has it caused any difficulty to you by the fact that Paulo Sousa left the club a few days before the training camp began?

I would be lying if I would say that the players have not been talking about it, and who will be the new manager. I thing that this is totally natural in situations like this. The preparation period has not been effected by Paulo leaving, as there remains a very well prepared coaching staff that directs our work, and the quality of our training remains the same as earlier.

The current training camp started on the 9th January, and will run up until the 30th. Have you ever been at a training camp that lasted this long?

No, I have never been away for such a long time at a previous training camp. The U20 Egyptian World Cup was longer than this training camp, but that was a competition.

What do you do in the little time you have between training sessions?

The program takes up the majority of our time, so we do not have that much free time, but we have not come here to be on holiday in Spain. When there is no training, I usually rest or go for a massage. I also speak to my room mates before we go to sleep in the evening. I also have some books with me, and I really enjoy reading.
