We talk in depth with the manager of Videoton FC about his views on things
You had a plan. Where is the team now according to that plan. Is it ahead or just where it should be now?
The team is reacting well to the changes. It is always important for the players to understand the game we want to have. The players now are much more confident about what we are doing. They see the development in every game and now they believe that they can do on the pitch what we want them to do. Now they play with different dynamics and they are adopting to our new system and new club philosophy. But to answer the question we are approximately at the part of the road where I had planned in June. The best part of my job is to see my players develop. Listen them saying that they feel being better players. What I would like to achieve is to have a squad of professional players, with passion for for football and plenty of ambition. Persons where the money is not everything. Professionals who ignore the pleasures that money allows to them possibility of pleasures, like me the main target is to work well, achieve victories, and success.
What do you think about the atmosphere of the games and the supporters?
The supporters make great atmosphere at our games especially in Székesfehérvár. RBD made a huge contribution to our results, because in some hard moments they helped our players to give their best and they stood by them even in the toughest moments and never let them down. The other supporters outside RBD are sometimes criticizing the team, but this is normal, because most supporters want the team always to win 7-0. But football doesn’t work like this, but we always want to have the happiness of having 3 points more.
What has changed in the life of the club within the last 6 months?
The most important thing is still changing. It is to have every member of the club in each department the mentality of how to help with the knowledge and the behaviour the club to achieve its goals, get the results that we want to get. To have a winning character and mentality, and to think about how I can improve myself, my colleagues and the club. Structurally the club has also changed. When I arrived, the club didn’t have a scouting department, now we are building up the scouting department, because it is essential for a club, since it helps to build our future. The other most important thing is a medical department that helps the players be stronger and recover much faster after a game or in bad case after an injury.
Were there any unexpected things in the last half a year?
Obviously all the players had to adopt to many new things. They had to adopt our new identity, the new game model. Some players especially the foreigners had to adopt to the competition, a different method of training and a different mentality. We were in disadvantage regarding these things in comparison to other clubs where nothing has changed. But nothing surprising happened to me.
You have a wonderful player career behind you. Which one is harder: to play on the pitch or to be in the technical zone as the manager?
This is an easy question. The best part of football is playing it. Always everybody wants to be a protagonist, but the protagonist is always the player. He has pleasure of doing what he loves and even gets money for it as a professional. Of course one has to have skills and must be talented to become a professional player, but I don’t think that there are any better jobs than playing football.
Do you see any boys at the Puskás Academy who is an outstanding talent and can be in the first team in a few years’ time?
We always pay close attention to the work done in the Academy. I can give an example to our attention to the academy. That in one of the games against Honvéd we were drawing 1-1 20 minutes before the end of the game, there were players in wamup like Alves, our best scorer, but I took the decision to put on the pitch a 18-year old academic player, Paudits. And we got full success, we won the game and gave opportunity to recognizte that everyone who works well has a chance to play on the first team.
Which game was the best and which gave you the worst memory in the first half of the season?
The game against Kaposvár is not a game to remember. The circumstances were very difficult with the heavy rain, there I didn’t see the character and personality in our game.
The best memory was the game wan Sturm Graz at home, because all the components I want to see in every game in our club. Personality of our players, individual and collective quality presented in the game and intensity to compete at the level against a team who has the experience of playing in Europe and 14 million budget. Practically a full stadium enjoying and supporting with all that passion their players and their club.
