"We have had a very good autumn season behind us, and I can honestly say, that I would not have thought back in the summer, that we would still be playing Europa league football in December. I would add though that we deserved the success, as all of the players worked very hard to become this effective. I was also happy with my own performances, but not enough to stop here. I will carry on working with the same intensity from January, as I would like to become a better player, and produce even better performances to help Videoton."

"One of the most memorable games back in the autumn, was the home Europa league match with Trabzonspor. It still gives me goose pimples today, when I remember back to the atmosphere, which was around the Sostoi stadium that evening. I would also add that I scored one of the most important goals of my career from the penalty spot in that game. That is another reason why I will not forget that match. 

"2012 will not just stay in my mind because of our international performances. I also became a father to a baby boy in the spring. He was born in Spain, but moved together with my wife to Hungary in the summer. They gave me lots of additional motivation and strength. It would not be an over reaction to say that the birth of my son has changed my life. I am a very happy person! We will spend our first Christmas together, which I am sure will be very different to those before. I will not be travelling anywhere, but instead be spending the festive period in Spain. It will be a perfect chance for my son to spend it together with his grand parents. They have not seen him in person since the summer. Distant relatives will also visit us over Christmas, so it looks like being a period around the family." said defender Álvaro Brachi to vidi.hu.
