Interview with Szabolcs Zubai before the first CL match of season 2015/2016

Of course our first question is - how are you ? (smaller thigh injury previously)

Szabolcs Zubai (mentioned as Szabi later on): Thank you, much better. I still 'feel my thigh' a bit but with the treatments it is improved a lot, so cannot be a problem, I will be there in the match. I have already trained together with the guys since Wednesday.

What happened?

Szabi: I was running when I felt a little bit of pain. But the problem only became bigger when I sit on the bench. The examination's result was a 1,5 cm tear in my thigh.

MOL-Pick Szeged had all in all 122 Champions League matches, you were participating 60 times and you scored 128 goals. What are your expectations regarding the new season ?

Szabi: It will be really hard ! Because of the new system we will have more matches, there is no "easy" (weak) team. The draw is quite difficult as after Kielce we will play against Vardar and then the defending champion Barcelona. The start could have been easier but of course it is not a request show.

Kielce won 3 times in a row against us. Can we break this series ?

Szabi: I hope so. At home, with our fantastic fans I can't even imagine anything else but a victorious CL-start. It will be very difficult but we are able to win.

What can be the key of winning ?

Szabi: Obviously, first of all, to do what Juan Carlos Pastor head coach ask to do. To play what we are prepared for. If we will do this, it couldn't be a problem. Moreover, we can't forget as well that we have more players now in the team than last year. If somebody is going to be tired, another player can replace him on a similar level. It can give an advantage as well as the extra power which our fans give us. And if they would give us power by cheering , the victory will come too as everybody knows : CSAK ELŐRE (JUST AHEAD) !!!

Interview with Piotr Wyszomirski before the first CL match of season 2015/2016

Soon the Champions League will start and our first match is coming too...

Piotr Wyszomirski: Every handball players' dream is to play in the Champions League. Our preparation went very well in Kopaonik. So we are prepared and ready for the start of the Champions League which will be maybe harder than ever before.

You will play against your compatriots and in this new system every victory is really-really important...

Piotr Wyszomirski: A Champions League match is totally different than a match in the Hungarian Championship. Our fans are so enthusiastic and passionate that helps and pushes us forward. I can't even imagine anything else but the victory of MOL-Pick. I am goalkeeper of MOL-Pick Szeged and I have to do 100 percent here. And this is my aim every time, to do my best, just like now against Kielce as well. It is very important to win because there is a greater importance of every victory in the new system.
