Stopira gave Vidin the lead in the seventh minute at the home of Fradi, and then the home team, who played football with a clear and sometimes overwhelming advantage, turned the game around with the help of 17-year-old Krisztián Lisztes Jr., who came on as a substitute. However, the team from Fehérvár fought to the end and scored a point because Yehven Makarenko equalized.
After the 2-2 draw, Vidi did not advance in the table, in fact, Újpest overtook them, so they are tenth. However, the team deserves praise for the point obtained on Üllői út. They fought for him, and the Swedish head coach, Bartosz Grzelak, also appreciated this.
– I am completely satisfied with the morale of my players. Everyone knows what the club went through last season. Not only did we play well until we took the lead, but we didn’t give up even when we were 2-1 down and we managed to get up from a lost situation. My feelings are mixed – said Bartosz Grzelak at the press conference after the match in the Groupama Arena. – I’m not blind, it’s no coincidence that the FTC is in first place, and we are in the lower house. However, at the same time, I think we could have got the three points and because we didn’t do it, I’m disappointed. Overall, however, the one point we scored at the home of the FTC is to be appreciated. It is important for me to be able to dominate in ball game situations. Before the second domestic goal, Csongvai tried to play the ball, unfortunately mistakes happen even with the biggest players. Regardless, I am sure that Csongvai has a great future ahead of him and I told him that too. Makarenko trains very hard and diligently and even though he is no longer 18 years old, you get the feeling that he wants to keep improving. What is past is not worth talking about anymore. For me, every member of the squad is important, they make up the team, from which we want to get the most.
The son of the former Fradi legend Krisztián Lisztes, Krisztián the Younger, doubled. Cherchesov assessed me calmly.
– After the whistle, I congratulated the young Krisztián Lisztes, who scored two goals, and I also told him to keep both feet on the ground after the game, this is very important. It doesn’t matter to me how old a player is. I am confident that Krisztián will be able to work with us without injury from now on – said the head coach of Ferencváros, Staniszlav Cherchesov. – Speaking of young people, our second team is also full of talented young people. It doesn’t matter how old they are, they have to be given the chance to prove themselves, and then it’s up to them if they can live with it. In the half-time, I saw that it was difficult for us to make substitutions, we had a lot of injuries, regardless of that, the two substitutions helped the team very well. Not with the final result, but I am satisfied with the team’s performance.
