Szolnoki: I am counting on a tense match with Ujpest

The defender feels that Ujpest will be pumped up when they face Vidi on Sunday.

"Ujpest have not started the league season as they would have liked to. At the same time they have several good players in their team. I thought that they played really well in the recent derby match with Ferencvaros. This is interesting as the Vidi - Ujpest matches are also considered big games for many years now. I am sure that they will be really pumped up on Sunday and we will face a team ready to battle.

Our only aim is a win as we are playing on our own home pitch. I would like us to keep our 100% record at the Sostoi stadium going. It is also good that we have managed to beat the so called smaller clubs, who have come to defend in numbers. It is not always easy to break down a side that has lined-up to defend. I believe that Ujpest are known for a different and more open style of play.

I received a call up for the  U21 national side during the week, which is a massive honor for me. It is always a great feeling to play in the shirt of my country. We have tough matches ahead in the qualification games, but we would like to pick up six points from these two games. Our target is to beat Austria in Győr, and then travel out in a relaxed mood to Spain, where hopefully after the final whistle, we will be occupying one of the top two places in the group" - commented Roland Szolnoki to vidi.hu.
