We spoke to the midfielder about Sunday's season opener against Diosgyőr.
"It could be an advantage over DVTK that we have already played in three competitive games, especially in European matches. There has been lots of changes at Diosgyőr recently, with lots of player movement, as well as the arrival of new manager Ferenc Horvath. That will give their players an extra motivation to show that they have a place in the DVTK side. I am sure that there will be a big battle on the pitch. It could be beneficial for us that we are familiar with the style of football Ferenc Horvath likes to play and the was he sends out his team. On the other hand he also knows us very well, which could be a disadvantage. I feel that we are the better side than DVTK, with better players in the Vidi squad, but this means nothing if we can't go out onto the pitch to show what we can do. If the players show the same as we did against Čukarički, then I am sure that we can keep the 3 points at home" - commented Mate Patkai.
