- I understand that you were very young when you decided that football was going to be a big part of your life. Was it never a question for you that you would become a footballer when you grew up?

Yes, as you know, I was three years old when I got my first football from my parents and because my brothers played football alongside my father, there was no question for me that I wanted to play football. It's safe to say that football was in my family's blood and still is to this day. One of my brothers, Bence, used to play football for Vidi, as did my father, Tibor Berki. 

- Given this, it's not surprising that you were also brought up in Vidi's youth team. 

No, I'm happy to have grown up at Vidi, I've been a Vidi fan since I was a kid and I've worked with a lot of good coaches, from Csaba Palánki to Balázs Bárdosi, István Borsányi, Gusztáv Vajda and Zoltán Horváth. All of them are excellent professionals from whom I could learn a lot as a child. Growing up, I enjoyed every training session, I was happy when I played football, and that hasn't changed to this day, of course.

- Many of the players from the champion team still play for Vidi (Martin Dala, Vid Tóth Tamás, Bence Babos, Barnabás Csepregi, Zsombor Menyhárt). Was the 2004 team that good here in Székesfehérvár?

For me it's not surprising that so many of us from that team are still here today at Vidi, because it was an outstandingly good team. I hope that as many of us as possible will follow 'Menyus' (Zsombor Menyhárt - editor) and 'Babsi' (Bence Babos - editor), who have already made their debut in the NB I for Vidi.

- You started the 2018/2019 season not with Vidi, but with Salzburg in Austria. How did this opportunity come for you?

My father received a job offer in Austria, so we had to think about how to proceed. Luckily, Salzburg saw my potential and gave me an opportunity that I feel I was able to take advantage of. It took me a while to fully settle in, I had a problem with the German language, which I had learned at school in Hungary, but the Austrian accent caused some problems in the first months (laughs). Today, I speak German almost as a native speaker, which is another positive result of the last five years. 

- Apart from the foreign language, what was the biggest challenge for you in Salzburg?

The tempo in training and in matches was much higher than I was used to at home and the opponents were much more combative in matches. But what is interesting is that I think we were technically much more skilled as U14 champions at Vidi than the same age group of Salzburg, but we were also far behind in terms of strength and physicality. 

- What do you think you improved the most in Austria?

Previously at Vidi, I didn't experience anything like not getting into the team or my coach not liking me so much, because I really played all the games at Vidi, but at Salzburg I had to fight hard for every minute of the game. Mentally, I improved a lot, there were some negative things that I hadn't experienced before at home, but I don't regret at all that I managed to make progress in this area as well. Of course, as I said, I was physically very behind, and I have improved a lot in that area in the last five years.

- You were not the first footballer from Székesfehérvár to play in Salzburg. How difficult was it for you to follow the path paved by Dominik Szoboszlai? Were you often compared to him?

It was definitely nice to see and experience first hand how far you can go from the same city. However, I didn't have too much personal contact with Dominik because when I got there he was already training with the pros, so we rarely met.

- Last year you played in the youth CL final, which you lost, but it was a great experience for you, wasn't it?

The youth final was a great experience, but the result was a huge disappointment for everyone. Especially after we had beaten Atlético Madrid 5-0 in the semi-final, where we believed we would win the final - and then Benfica came and we lost 6-0. But all in all, it was great to be part of that CL march.

- You returned to Vidi after five years, how did you get this opportunity and why did you decide to do it?

It was my decision to change, I indicated to my agent that I wanted to try something new. A couple of days later he let me know that Vidi were keenly interested in me and I said great, that's what I want! I'm like Attila Szalai, who moved to the NB I from Austria at the same time and we'll see where he is today. I don't see the NB I as a step backwards at all, in fact, I think I can improve here. Moreover, it is good for my soul to be back among friends and to fight for the success of the team that I have loved the most since childhood. I'm confident, I think we're going to do well, the dressing room is very cohesive now, there are no cliques or negative things that I've heard about that have happened before. I'm looking forward to making my debut in a competitive match for Vidi, I want to play as much as possible and add some substance to my game and bring a lot of joy to the Vidi fans.
