"I know that Videoton were champions in 2011, and they are a good side, with very good players. The club has continued to develop along with the team itself. I have listened to the plans and find what manager Paulo Sousa has said really attractive. I feel that there are serious possibilities at Videoton, which is why I have decided to accept the club's offer. I hope that we will go on to achieve serious success together, and I can honestly say that I am really pleased to be here" - concluded new loan signing Renato Neto.
