"We are all happy to have found the right path"

The team went into the October national team break in a serious slump, having suffered three defeats in a row in the league (PAFC - Vidi 3-0, Vidi - Paks 1-2, ETO - Vidi 3-1), but now, although we lost 1-0 in Miskolc, we can say that the team has recovered from the bad streak. How do you see it?

That's right, I also feel that we have managed to put the bad streak behind us and our last five games have been absolutely fine. Even though we lost to FTC and most recently to Diósgyőr, the way we played in both games we deserved at least a draw. We also had a particularly strong and successful week, when we won two home league games and went through in the MOL Hungarian Cup. We are all happy that we have found the right path, but it is very important that we do not deviate from it this year. We still have four league games left this year, and we have to play football and fight for each other in the same way as we have done in the last few weeks.

Since the league game against Ferencváros, the team has been playing in a new system, we have switched to a five-man defensive formation. Your role has also changed, you play as a left-back, but you are also regularly involved in the attack. What do you think about this new playing system and your own role?

Yes, both the team formation and my role have changed. I had no particular problems with the transition, as I had played in this role before. It's not an easy task, I have to run a lot on the wings and as you said, I have to not only defend but also get involved in the attack on a regular basis. At the same time, I really enjoy the task that the head coach gives me in the matches, I try to help the team as best I can. The game and the results show that the new formation suits the team.

What do you need to ensure that the current national team break and the unlucky defeat in Miskolc don't distract you from your good form and that you can continue against Újpest where you left off against Kecskemét?

I don't feel that the defeat against DVTK has affected the team. Despite the break, we're working just as hard as if we were playing a league game at the weekend, so we're not losing any of the work or the rhythm. We're playing Újpest at home, and I think I can say on behalf of everyone else that we're really looking forward to that game and we really want to pick up where we left off in our last home game.

You joined us in the middle of the season, in August, so you missed the summer training, but now you are a key member of the team. Did you find it easy to settle in at Vidi?

I feel that I've had a smooth integration, mainly thanks to the great team spirit. There are no cliques, everyone works hard in training and in games we fight as one to succeed. The coaching staff is also on the same wavelength as the team, the atmosphere is really good. What's the strangest thing for me is that at 30, although I don't feel old at all, I'm the second oldest player in the team after Kaspi (Kasper Larsen - ed.). It's hard to get used to that (laughs). I've never been the oldest player in my team on the pitch before, but it's not a problem at all, it's nice to be part of such a young team.

You have also played for the Hungarian national team in the past, so you probably follow the national team's matches. What matches do you expect against the Netherlands and Germany?

Knowing the national team captain Marco Rossi well, I don't think we can take our opponents for granted in either of these matches. We've proved time and again in recent years that we can compete with anyone, whether away or at home. I wouldn't bet on a numerical result, but I'm confident that against the Netherlands and Germany the team will put in a performance that every Hungarian can be proud of. We are facing two very strong opponents, but I believe that we will be equal opponents for both the Netherlands and Germany.
