The autumn momentum must be gained against Slovan

“We didn’t forget it, we just left it behind,” he said Vital Milanthe midfielder of the Hungarian youth national team of DAC, when we first asked him how they managed to shake off the shocking season opener in the Conference League.

DAC, which had high hopes for the season (we talked about this with the team’s other Hungarian player, Márk Csinger), ran into an extremely unpleasant slap against the Azeri Zira, who bid farewell to the Csallóközi team with a total score of 6-1. However, the team did not get off to a bad start in the league and the cup, and despite playing two games less, they are waiting for the weekend’s top match against Slovan from the podium.

“The unexpected slap is always the biggest, but we proved that we are professional players and we got off to a good start in the league after the KL elimination. We still have no luck, as we lost in Besztercebánya in such a way that we were in control and dominated the whole time, and the opponent responded with a counterattack and won the match 1-0,” said the regular player of the U21 national team.

After brutal preparation

Vitalís said that he had never been so tired during a preparation in his life as he was this summer, but according to him, this was not the cause of the failure against Zira. It simply happened that the opponent played excellently, and DAC played extremely poorly compared to himself.

“We knew we were going to meet an excellent opponent, but to be honest, we were a little surprised and unsettled by how well Zira played at home. “0-4 caught the team, it would be a shame to deny that, but then we were like, we can’t allow the two defeats to happen to us in the league, and we managed to pull ourselves together.”

The people from Dunaszerda started with two wins and the above-mentioned defeat in Bésztercebánya, and then advanced by organizing the Slovak Cup goal festival. In the meantime, two of their matches were missed, one due to a failure of the MOL Arena’s irrigation system, and the other due to the inadequacy of the opponent’s pitch, but DAC is still waiting for the top scorer on the podium.

“A serious load of matches awaits us in the next period, as we have to make up for both missed matches, but there will be another cup round, so we will have work to do during the week as well. “But we worked in the summer to be strong, and I don’t think we’ll have any problems. Of course, a lot depends on what we get with Slovan…”

Now you have to buy svung

The defending champions – perhaps it is not an exaggeration to call them monopolists – Slovan Bratislava had an interesting start to the season, as the team from Bratislava achieved a dazzling success and reached the main table of the Champions League for the first time in their history. Vital has an idea what could have happened.

“I think, let’s put it this way, the players thoroughly celebrated the historic success. But so much so that they couldn’t even recover three days later,” he said with a laugh, then hastily added that the Zsolna team has a very strong team, according to Vitalís, they play one of the best football in the Slovak league.

“We are playing against them just a few days before the start of the BL, but I would be surprised if they made a reserve against us. This is one of the most important matches of the year for our fans, as well as for theirs, I am sure that they will come to us on Saturday with the bright ones,” said the midfielder about the super match broadcast live on Duna World on the 14th at 8:30 p.m.

“We will win!” – stated Vitalís as a matter of course, when we asked him what he expected from the match. “It’s too early to talk about any trophy, no matter how the game turns out, but it’s certain that if we manage to beat them, it can give us such momentum that can even define our entire autumn. We have already experienced several times how important mentally it is to defeat the defending champion.”

“Anyway, I expect a lot from the team this year, specifically that we win a trophy. Of course, it’s easier to get there in the cup, but I don’t think the championship is impossible either. It is true that the latter requires a lot of stars to be in the right place, but we will do what is up to us. We want to make history this year!” – stated Vitalis.
