On Monday, DVSC organized its usual pre-season conference, which was of great interest. The venue of the event was the press conference room at Nagyerdei Stadium.

Ike Thierry Zaengel expressed his appreciation to the staff, the players and the fans too.

“For those who are here today, Loki is very important as it is for me personally. When we arrived here, we asked everyone to give us 3 years. This amount of time is needed for putting DVSC back on the place that it deserves to be at. I believe that we are on the right path, the play of the team is different now than it was earlier. I want a strong team with a strong identity. I want to see warrior players and warrior fans who consider Nagyerdei Stadium as their own home,” the President stated.

The managing director Balázs Makray told us that he sees the progress of Loki in various aspects.

 “Great thanks to everyone who believed and believes in this club and this project. During the spring season, there were two times when there were 14,000 people at the stadium, which represents the support and trust of the fans. The 40% increase in the average number of viewership means a lot to the players as well,” said the managing director.

Srdjan Blagojevic expressed his hope regarding the future support of the fans during the season, and added that he is satisfied with the conditions of the preparation.

“We are physically prepared but regarding the play, there is always room for progress. We are really motivated and are eagerly waiting for the matches. A long season is in front of us, which can mainly be compared to a marathon,” said the Master of Loki.

Balázs Dzsudzsák was glad to participate in the conference. He feels that the team, the staff and the fans are reunited.

“We can talk about a big DVSC family again. I’m hopeful but we are planning only match by match. We always try to thank the fans for their support and do our best to deserve it,” pointed out the captain of the team.

Botond Vajda said that he was greatly welcomed in Debrecen, he feels good here and wants to prove himself in the colours of Loki.
