Paulo Sousa and midfielder Balazs Toth spoke to the gathered press on Wednesday evening
"Despite the fact that we placed a lot of attention on defending and counter attacking over recent games, the game of football is more complex, than these two elements. It is a big recognition for us that my Belgium colleague, has praised the way our side defends, and a lot of work has gone in to us being able to perform at this level. Our aim is also to attack, so that we can become even better. We really wanted to make it in to the Europa League group stages, and to enjoy it now that we are here, and that we can play against such good opponents, as Genk. Our earlier game with Gent cannot be compared to Thursday's match, as Genk are ahead in most areas than our earlier opponents. They played out a draw at the weekend in the Belgium league, but they were very good in attack, and they just didn't have any luck. We know about their strengths, and also their weaknesses, just as they know about our own. I am counting on a good performance and result tomorrow. I am also sure that the game will be played in front of a good atmosphere. We are continuously working on us playing in front of bigger and bigger crowds. In Szekesfehervar and the whole of Hungary, there is great enthusiasm towards our team, which gives us great strength" - said Paulo Sousa.
Balazs Toth: - "It feels very good to be here again, as I spent three very happy and successful years at this club. I do not think that the supporters will greet me in any special way. It means a lot to any side to be able to play at the highest level, and Genk played in the Champions league last year. I am sure that there will be a good atmosphere for the match. I have been following Genk's performances and their results, ever since I left the club, and I know that they have made big changes to their squad since then.
