Zoltán press conference audio

As I promised, here is the audio from Zoltán's press conference. I left in all the translation portions since I know some of his Hungarian fans may listen in as well.

Part 1 - Zoltán is introduced, he is asked his expectations, why he chose to come play in the United Stated, to compare his previous league to MLS play, what position is he training with the Wizards, is he still following his previous team and the Hungarian National team and about being a goal scorer.



Part 2 = Peter is asked why this move now, was the toughness lacking in the team that Zoltán brings, about the physical description of MLS, then Zoltán is asked about the physical vs technical of MLS, Zoltán is asked about his new teammates.



Part 3 - Zoltán is asked about communicating with his new team mates, Peter is asked about the process of signing a foreign player, transfer fee and the loan agreement. The audio stops before the video does on this one so around 7 1/2 minutes you can stop it.




Part 4 - Peter talks about how and when he found Zoltán, about forming a relationship with Honvéd FC and Zoltán paving the way for more Hungarian players. Zoltán speaks a little in English at the end.



A lot if good info from Peter in there. Zoltán has the potential to bring a lot to the team. He does have scoring touch, hopefully he can blend in with the team well and can find some good playing time.

More Zoltán (how to say Zoltán edition)

I will put the audio up from the press conference when Zoltán was introduced later today. It would be up already but I goofed when I put it together so I have to rework it in awhile. It is long (around 30 minutes) but has a lot of good info in it. In the mean time I just wanted to post this so people could hear Zoltán speak and know how to pronounce his name.

Zoltán Hercegfalvi officially introduced

Zoltán Hercegfalvi (just Zoltán from now on) was officially introduced today. Peter Vermes hands him the number 20 jersey with Zoltan on the back...


Peter Vermes translated for Zoltán during the press conference. Zoltán did speak a little english and understood many of the questions without translation...


Peter confirmed that Zoltán is with the Wizards on an 18 month loan with options for keeping him.

If there is interest I can put up the full audio later...
