Hungarian team is preparing in a professional set up

The three key members of the Hungarian men’s national team are in Ochsenhausen while women’s national team is practicing with the Polish team in a home soil environment.

After the best male players trained in Austria for a week and then prepared at home together with the Croats Bence MAJOROS and Ádám SZUDI returned to Ochsenhausen and a week later they were joined by Nándor ECSEKI and Péter MUSKÓ the head coach of the national team.

“We can train in completely professional conditions” Péter MUSKÓ told about the table tennis center in Germany again. “There are two or three workouts a day along with a conditioning program. A team that is unprecedented in Hungary helps our work. Everyone is watching and observing everyone everyone is sharing everything with others everyone is helpful and considers the development of the other a priority. There were times when the six of us were watching eight players. There is always someone who deals with the players on a daily basis and also who travels with them to international competitions. There are also two multi-ball coaches one Chinese and one Romanian. I asked the former to show the benefits and use of Chinese soft and the serve-serve receive to Nándi with whom he then spent separately an hour and a half.”

The Hungarian boys train together among others with the Brazilian Hugo CALDERANO and Vitor ISHIY as well as with the Frenchan Simon GAUZY and Can AKKUZU.

“They put one hundred and ten percent into their workouts every single day” praised the head coach the before mentioned world class players. “I could not come to training in the morning without AKKUZU being there before the scheduled time. It is this attitude that makes it easier the work for the coaches as well. This is how when there is a common goal.”

Starting on Wednesday the three Hungarian players will take part in the challenger series in the company of players like the Serbian Alexander KARAKASEVIC and the Slovenian Bojan TOKIC.

The European Championships organized in Warsaw have been postponed but the members of Hungarian national team are confident that the national championships can begin and they also try to make up for the missed competitions with friendly matches played with neighboring countries.

The Central European cooperation also continues on the women’s line the Polish national team arrived in Budapest on Monday.

“With the exception of LI Qian who is of Chinese descent they have their bests here with Natalia PARTYKA Natalia BAJOR a European Youth Champion. They came with eight players and three coaches. We sat down discussed with each other what our ideas and expectations were and we have reached a ‘compromise’. We definitely wanted to play matches so we will have friendly matches with them on Thursday afternoon and on Friday morning” reported on this week’s program Zoltán BÁTORFI the head coach of the Hungarian female national team.

The Hungarian “bench” consists of Dóra Madarász Mercédesz Nagyváradi Bernadett Bálint Orsolya Fehér Leila Imre and Fanni Harasztovich while Helga Dari Anna Fejős and Kíra Balogh are representing the younger age groups.

The Polish players are scheduled to return for the Budapest Championships held next week and even a few Slovak players have indicated their intention to participate so a very high-quality field can come together.
