Videoton have already shown how strong they are at home

International defender Roland Juhasz spoke to vidi.hu ahead of Thursday's crucial group stage match at the Sostoi stadium

Roland Juhász has experienced many big games in the colours of Anderlecht. His side have beaten Genk several times over the years, and in April 2012, they defeated Thursday's opponents 4-0! The defender knows Genk very well, as we reached him on the phone in Belgium.

Let us start with you. The news is not the best regarding you and Anderlecht at the moment. The international side needs a Roland Juhasz who is in good form.

Sadly my situation really isn't the best at the moment, as I cannot even get into the Anderlecht squad. I also cannot see any explanation for all of this. I cannot do anything else other than to wait for the winter transfer window. I would like to change clubs, as this current situation is really affecting me, and it is not good for me or the club. I still have a year and a half of my contract to go, so it will not be easy to leave the club. One thing for certain is that I will only be interested in a team where I can play week in, week out.

What can we expect of Genk when they come to Szekesfehervar?

Genk did not have the best of starts to the season, as they had changes to their side, compared with the season before. I think that they needed a bit of time to adjust and bond, but they have got better, and we are talking about a side on the up. They are stronger on their home pitch, which showed up well in the first game between them and Videoton. They are a strong side, which likes to play attacking football.

So you feel that Genk will come to attack?

I am not that sure. I do not think that they will concentrate on just defending at Videoton's stadium, as they can progress if they get the three points. I can also imagine that Genk will be relying on them winning their last home match to go through. I am also sure that Genk will be very motivated, so it will be a good little match. I do not think that the result of the first match mirrors the reality between the two sides. I watched that match from the stands, and it was not as easy as the end result suggested. Videoton have already shown in their two home games just how strong they are, against two very big sides.

You seem to be up to date with all things Vidi.

I will be supporting the team, and not only because it will do good for Hungarian football, but also for a special reason. Sandor Torghelle is one of my best friends. I also follow the Hungarian domestic league as well with interest.
