The Bucks head coach doesn’t take issue with the comments after Friday’s game. He considers the Facebook world to be the bible for fools and believes Sztankovic summed up the encounter well.
György Bognar, coach of the Bax, who finished the fall season of the OTP Bank Liga in first place, gave a longer interview to M4 Sport. According to the specialist, this was not their goal at the beginning of the tournament, to take first place, but they are not sad about that.
According to György Bognar, the reality is around fifth place for the first Bucks in the fall
“That’s not the reality, if we finished around fifth it would be fine. The fact that he was a little better this fall is also surprising to us, because we have not been able to achieve such a balanced performance in recent years. In the past, we had very good periods, but there were also breaks in matches 2-3. The important thing is that we treat defeats like victories, and not overestimate ourselves. I think self-esteem is very importantBonar began his assessment.
Ferencvaros did not play in the operating temperatures, and the Bucks won the game by five goals and became the fall champion
“I have to put team unity first. We started the tournament with two draws, but even then I felt there was more to this team. We suffered a lot of injuries, and our defenders were also injured throughout the preparation period. When they recovered and the team settled down, the match against Vradi came, when we conceded six goals in the first half. Then we realized that we can’t play football that frankly, we’re not so good that we prefer attacking players that much.He said about the start of the season.
They then made a move to try to play a more solid midfield with one fewer striker. As the defense came together, the midfield worked as well, in his opinion, this is how the team was balanced by strengthening the midfield.
“I don’t read forums like this, they leave me cold. This world of Facebook is a fool’s bible. Stankovic put it well, they’ll probably lose three points, not the championship, and he’s absolutely rightHe told of the afterlife of victory over Frady.
In his opinion, the last 20 years are an advantage for the leaders of PAX, Zsolt Haraszty and János Sule. For twenty years, they have been able to bring together players who are no longer needed anywhere else, and reach a community where they can truly work as a team, on and off the field, which is crucial.
Bonar after Freddy’s win: They can’t stand the fact that the opponent is stepping up and playing better
“Since I’ve been here, we’ve been playing football with a slightly different philosophy, but that’s a different question. We don’t play counter-play, we try to play initiative football. After three years, I can say with confidence that everyone on the pitch is moving in the same direction, our game is closer to European football, we attack all over the pitch, and we have more open possession in the opponent’s half. But there are more and more colleagues in Hungary who deal with this, but most of them only at certain stages of matches“, he said regarding the extent of his role in PAX which has become a decisive factor in the Hungarian championship.
He believes that the past period must be evaluated between the two halves, and look forward, but it is not necessary to talk about the league title or participation in international cups. “Let’s take small steps forward and see what happens in the end. Every year, we had a chance to get into a starting position in the International Cup, but we always missed it. This current result must be appreciated, but we are looking forward to a very difficult spring. Fifth place is the reality of the Bucks“.
Stankovic: We lost the three points, but not the championship
According to the former national team player, Ferencvaros can be a hero. He believes that if the World Cup doesn’t happen and they don’t have so many injuries, the team they have will be great in Hungary. “Many teams could finish second, but Debrecen and Puskas Academia also have better chances and play good football. Realistically, we could rank them ahead of us and then actually be fourth or fifth. The season is still long, and it is a shame to talk about the International Cup“.
The team is in constant flux and is never ready, so there is also a struggle within the team about who will join the team, he said of his team. You can’t expect a lot of movement in the winter, there’s only one centre, and they’ll need a real finishing centre. The burden of waiting for spring in the first place does not weigh on their shoulders and they did not do anything differently in the last round against Fehervár, rather they try to play their own game.
“There was only one sure plan, and that was confirmed residency. That’s what I said, strong midfield. The field of 12 teams is narrow, the first goal is always to stay, and this fall the guys have already achieved that, with 34 points, in principle, you can stay in– said Bognar with his characteristic sense of humor.
