Nikolics and Simon also called up to international squad

The Vidi forward who has scored 11 goals in 9 games has been called up by national team boss Pal Dardai. Midfielder Adam Simon is another to be brought in making it a total of 5 Videoton players in the Hungarian squad.

Two more Videoton players have made it into the national team squad ahead of the international qualifiers against Romania and the Faroe Islands. Nemanja Nikolics and Adam Simon have both received call up's. Hungarian international manager Pal Dardai has named a total of 5 players from Videoton. The other three are Roland Juhasz, Adam Gyurcso and Istvan Kovacs. 

Nikolics convinced Dardai with his performance at the weekend and the new national team manager commented: He is a forward who scores many goals, and although he does not have too much international experience, he is motivated and a player with character. He could prove a big strength in front of a stronger midfield for the national side.
