"My holiday went very well, and I managed to rest a lot, and I visited all my relatives, and still had time to play in a charity match. I always find it tough coming back, as I leave the summer behind in January, and arrive in the middle of winter. It is 35c at home at the moment, and here it is around freezing point.... I also have a bit of jet lag after travelling roughly 20 hours, and I need to rest, after my lengthy journey, which included both plane and car trips. It was almost midnight when we reached our flat in Fehervar, together with my wife and two daughters. I had to be at the Sostoi stadium at 9am the following morning for my first training session. My many years of experience suggests that I will need a week before I find myself. My performance on the treadmill was better this time than last year. I was almost two minutes better than last years results. I feel that the most important part of the test are the technical pitches. Football is about scoring goals." - said the Brazilian, who went on to talk about the possibilities ahead.

"I have not yet had anything concrete, and my agent is dealing with this, but I am sure that he will let me know if there are any developments. I am now concentrating on my work with Videoton. We need to get in shape for the period ahead of us, and it is important that we pick up the rhythm, so that we can carry on in the league where we left off." We also asked Andre about the situation with his brother, who had a contract with Ferencvaros, but has now left them. "He found it difficult to adjust, and his daughter is still very young, so he decided to go back to Brazil and play his football there, where he previously played. He has not closed the door on a possible return to Hungary.
