"There were actually a few reasons, but if you can’t say something nice – say nothing at all.

It was definitely not an easy decision, because I have a lot of friends playing for KAC. Nevertheless, I didn’t want to play even one more game for this club. On the other hand there is a young, highly talented and very motivated team in Villach which I wanted to join. They gave me a warm welcome and the guys are the best. I’m definitely looking forward to give my best for this team!"

2., What do you think about the level of the opponents this year? Who can reach the Final4?

"I think it will be a very tough race for all teams to qualify for the final4 weekend! I really like how the league is expanding and new teams are joining. It raises the level and I’m sure every club can profit from that. The 3 new teams from Hungary will bring a lot of quality to the league, but so do the established teams. Therefore no guesses for the final4 ;) "

3., How do you prepare yourself for the first game of the new season against SZPK Komárom? What is your score-prediction?

"It was actually quite hard to concentrate on the game, because my old club didn’t let me and the other guys leave without creating unnecessary trouble. But I already had a few practice with Villach and they're really making it easy for me to adjust. In addition we had two good games with the national team against Hungary, where players of SZPK Komárom played as well. I’m ready! My prediction is a hard fight from both teams. Komárom took the win in an impressive way against Dunai last round, but we worked our butts off this summer and there sure will be a big crowd of Villach-supporters pushing the home team to the victory! So my prediction is 6:5 for VSV."
