Recharging in the offseason and preparing for the preseason

Now we are back on the pitch and ready to play against good teams. Pre-season is an important stage in preparing for the new season, it helps us to get back into game shape, adjust our mentality and be fully prepared for the season ahead."
Perfect venue, looking forward to the new season
In conclusion, Ödkö expressed his expectations for the venue and the upcoming season: "The weather is great, the facilities are great, everything is perfect. I think it's the perfect venue to prepare for the new season. I really like it here and I'm looking forward to working with my teammates here to build a solid foundation for the new season. We are confident that with the pre-season hard work and preparation, we can be in the best shape possible for the new season."
