- You and your twin brother started playing football together as children. Why did you choose this sport?

I remember that Matyi and I were particularly hyperactive as children, so when we were about 5-6 years old, our parents enrolled us in a sports camp organised by Vidi, where talented children were selected. The recruiting itself took place in the Bregyó centre in Fehérvár on three small football pitches, where Imre Kiss, Józsi Szabó and Feri Csongrádi were looking for the most talented children. This was practically the start of our sporting careers, if I can put it that way, as we started the day on pitch C, but in the afternoon we kicked around on pitch A, where the children were considered the most skilful.

- Was it decided from the very beginning that you would be a defender and your brother a goalkeeper?

Not exactly, because I played at the back from the start, but Matyi is a bit stockier - we're twins, but we're identical - and he played up front. Feri Csongrádi always told us that I made the 'i' and Matyi put the 'dot' on it because he finished the action I built up (laughs). Around the age of 12, my brother decided that he would try his hand in goal and then he stuck there and I stayed in defence.

- Who was your idol as a child whose game you particularly liked?

I'm sure a lot of people laugh at me, and I'm not sure if Lucio's name means anything to young people today, but I've always really liked his game. And then there was Ricardo Carvalho, who played very elegant football, they are definitely my idols. When I was a ballboy in Vidi games when I was 10-12 years old, I always watched Gábor Horváth "Kispera" from close up, because like me, he was a left-footed centre-back and he was my favourite Hungarian footballer.

- For years you were teammates in Vidi's youth team, but when you transferred to Puskás Academy, Matyi stayed at Vidi and you played against each other several times. What was it like to play against your brother?

If I remember correctly, we played together until 2011, after that I was transferred to Puskás Akadémia, which was part of Vidi at that time, our name was Puskás Akadémia-Videoton, both crests were on our shirts. It was a very interesting time for us and I think for our parents as well, because it's not everyday that you play against your own brother in a championship match. Our parents had one eye crying and the other laughing, because sometimes I was on the winning team, sometimes Matyi was, but somebody always lost. I remember a U17 championship game when we were 1-0 down against my brother until the 85th minute, then we equalised in the 86th minute and I scored the winning goal in the 89th minute.

- 11 years ago, in 2012 - at the age of 16 - you signed your first professional contract with Vidi. How do you remember that?

As a child I loved playing football here in Székesfehérvár, we went to school in the morning, came to train in Sóstó in the afternoon and spent a lot of time in the old stadium before and after training. Actually, it was Ferenc Kovács who convinced me to go to the academy in Felcsút, where I could develop further. Finally, in the autumn of 2012 I was able to sign my first professional contract, which I am very proud of. At that time Paulo Sousa was the head coach of Vidi and I remember well that Vidi trained regularly in Felcsút at that time. Later, under José Gomes, there were several occasions when, due to injury or illness, fewer players showed up for training than the number of players the coaching staff had planned for that training session, and then, because our school was a few minutes away from the training ground, either Donat Zsótér or I was 'alerted' that we had to go to Vidi's training session to make up the numbers. For me as a 17-year-old - and I think for Doni too - it was a great experience and a lot of extra motivation.

- After Vidi and Puskás Akadémia you went separate ways, you stayed at PAFC, where you went on to  play 142 NB I matches in the last ten years, making you the current record holder for the Felcsút club. What football experiences have you had during this time?

I have a lot of good memories, I was selected for the youth national team, which is always a good feedback for a young footballer. I wanted to make my debut in the top flight as soon as possible, and in 2014, at the age of 18, I was sent on as a substitute in a 2-2 draw against PMFC by Miklós Benczés. In the 2015/16 season - when PAFC was relegated from the NB I - I didn't really get a chance in the autumn, so I thought it was better to spend the spring season on loan in Csákvár. There I played 14 league games for the Csákvár team led by György Bognár, and those six months were a great help for me to get back into adult football. The following season I was able to play as a regular for the then NB II Puskás Akadémie, with whom we won the NB II and immediately made it back to the top division. In the last few years, we have achieved good results, we have finished on the podium several times and I have played in all the European cup matches.

-You suffered a serious injury in 2018, how big a break was it for you in your career?

Mentally I consider myself very strong and although the fracture of the fibula sounds serious, fortunately I managed to recover quickly. I know that a serious injury can take a toll on many players mentally, but I feel I came back stronger. I worked very hard every day during my rehabilitation, so luckily it wasn't a career-breaking leg break (laughs).

- Very soon, in mid-August, you will be playing against your former team, which will probably include one of your best friends, Roland Szolnoki. How will it feel to play against him?

As soon as the draw for the NB I was made, I immediately exchanged messages with Szoszo, who wrote to me that "we are friends 365 days a year, but on this one day we don't talk". So I immediately said to him that you won't be able to stand it (laughs). I'm sure he'll throw a few jokes at me on match day, but I hope he'll come to congratulate me at the end. It's going to be a very interesting match for me for sure, I'm certainly looking forward to it.

- At 27, are you where you imagined you would be as a child in your career?

In part, yes. But I really hope that my best years are still to come. I've already knocked on the door of the national team, I've received several invitations from Marco Rossi, and I'm confident that in time I'll be able to show my face in a national team game in a national team shirt. I came to a Vidi team in transition, and I hope to be part of many great successes as a player for the team in Fehérvár. After the first week and a half, my experience so far has been very positive, we've been having fun, good-paced training sessions and I feel a really good dressing room community is developing.
