Attila Bódi about Elsõ Beton

Beton got to the third place of the podium

The futsal team of Elsõ Beton achieved its best ever result this year: they got the third place in the championship and the team trained by Attila Bódi also „marched” till the finalin the Cup. In the interview made with the trainer we collected the components that were essential for these successes.

Attila Bódi: We are very proud of our yearly performance. Elsõ Beton, the players and also myself are after an outstandigly successful year which was not accidental, but the result of a process and the conscious work – and with this it proved that our efforts were done in good way. The first and most important component was that Elsõ Beton and Zoltan Roszkos secured the calm background for us. The other very important element is the bigger part of the team is together since long years and so they could put their own interest after the others’ and the team’s. And at least it was also determinable that at the beginning of the spring season we could contracted Zoran Dimic who made our play attractive and full of ideas.

Zoran Dimic, the yugoslavian player of Beton rose above the others not only in Szeged, but also in the whole Hungarian Championship with his exceptional talent and play-intelligence. How much his person determine the play of the team?

Attila Bódi: We could build quite a lot figure to Dimic and he rose above the others also in one against one play. He is a player who undertakes the one against one fights at any time and he does it confidently and with a low percent of mistakes. Because of this the play of the others was also build to him and we benefited a lot from this. Kis Krisztian for example can be grateful for Zoran for his Best goalscorer-title.

After the work of long-long years, steping higher each year in the championship, this year You achieved third place. So You are the best provincial team and only two teams from Budapest – Csõ-Montage and In Time Aramis – are ahead of You. In the coming years is it possible to step further (higher)?

Attila Bódi: I think that we surely have the chance for this. On one part the players of our team are much younger that the two rivals’. On the other side, if we can begin a serious and consistent work in the field of young talents, this also benefits for us. In my opinion if we make the most of it, it can have its result in one or two years.

You proved – specially at home – that You can be a worthy opponent of the best teams, what is more, You can also beat them. Despite Your successes in the national team they do not count with Your players.

Attila Bódi: This is typical for long years. Futsal - just as other sports - is very Budapest centered. We have no other possibility but to make a team which is able the win against the metropolitan clubs. In this case the leaders of the national team and the association will be also forced to count with the players of Beton. Anyway, the international experience of the above mentioned teams can be felt very strongly on strained matches with increased tension. We also need to get this experience to step forward.

In most of the teamsports at the end of May and begining of June the battles of the championship are over. But You can not rest too much as You are participating in the beach soccer for years. What do You expect from Your team this summer?

Attila Bódi: We would like to continue the traditions and even overstep them. In the last 2-3 years we won Grand Prix tournaments, but we have never had fortune in the final, in the straight elimination. It is time to surprise ourselves with a really great result. Anyway it is not only a tournament with a really good mood, but also a serious series which is perfect training for us: we can be over the difficulties of the conditional trainings near beach, during play, in the presence of enthusiastic spectators.

What would Elsõ Beton have to achieve next year to be satisfied?

Attila Bódi: I am cautious gambler that is why I am saying that the work we did till that time will not be enough to keep our third place. It means that our result will depend on that whether we can train even more, even intensively. One training is not enough to step further. If we are dreaming of a better result, we also have to work more for it.
