The goalkeeper of DVSC, Balázs Megyeri received the Zilahi award, which is given to a player of Loki, who delivers the best performance during the season. Our 34-year-old player is the third goalkeeper in the history of the club, who can be proud of this trophy.

– Looking at the list of players on the Zilahi award, I got admitted to quite an illustrious company, so for me, it means a huge recognition – said Balázs Megyeri to our website. –When I was playing at Fradi and Olimpiacos, I received some individual awards, but it was not characteristic to have such an acknowledgement during the recent years of my career. After a long break, I have another trophy in my vitrine, which is obviously a good feeling, although I would have traded it for a place on the podium.

It was a pretty uneven season and during the weekend, it became official that the team finished in the 5th place. How would you evaluate this season?

– It was rhapsodic. We had some good matches and big victories, and it makes me glad to remember that we made a comeback after 2-0 and earned a point at Groupama Arena. Sometimes we performed well, but didn’t get any points and there were times, when our play was not so attractive, but we won. Basically, it was characteristic of the whole season. We started well, then we had some ups and downs, but I’m glad that throughout the whole season, we were at the forefront of the table. It could be encouraging for the future that even with such a season, we consistently remained in the top part of the table.

You made numerous brilliant saves and saved the team from conceding goals many times. Are you satisfied with your performance?

– There were times, when I could perform some feats and contributed to the success of the team, but there was also a period, when I was not lucky and the ball bounced into the net either from the bar or a defender. During the run in, I think that I was in a good form and contributed to the results of the team, but that’s the reason why I’m in the goal. We have one match left and even though our fate has already been decided, we have to deliver our best performance as professional sportsmen. It also matters in what kind of mood we go on a break, but after the match against Fehérvár, we took a step forward. We showed that we are competitive, which can provide motivation for the future. One is thing is for sure: we are not going to Pancho Arena with a white flag, we will do everything to be successful, moreover, in order to finish the season with two victories. It would be rewarding for our soul and it would indicate that we can achieve a better result in the next season.

You arrived in Debrecen two years ago and the club prolonged your contract last year. How do you feel in the city?

– I really like to be here. Compared to the previous year, the only difference is that my family also moved here. My wife and children love the city. My daughters go to an excellent school, so they got used to life in Debrecen. The club and the city have both welcomed us, which makes our life easier. We look towards the future with good feelings, and I believe we’ll be here for at least another two years.
