Hundreds of fans gathered together for the ceremony to cheer for the new season with the players and the leaders of ETO. First, the president of the team, dr. Bartha Csaba greeted the participants and introduced the goals for the new season: it’s the club’s priority to take back the Hungarian Cup besides the Hungarian Champion title and of course their basic goal is to get into the FINAL4 of the Champions League. The leader of the club thanked the sponsors and partners for their support in the past period and expressed his gratitude towards the fans of the team.
Ambros Martin, head coach, started his speech in Hungarian making the fans very happy, and said that he was excited about the new season. The preparation time is coming to its end, the team is improving step by step, but of course the goals are unchanged, they would like to win everything. We also learned that the girls were through tough weeks, but with the new and young players they don’t have anything standing in their way.
Görbicz Anita, the captain of the team, said that there had been really hard days during the training period when it had been really hard to start working, but they had taken a deep breath and finally they had felt much stronger. The team is hungry for success and motivated, they would like to win everything in season 2017/2018.
After the words of the captain the new members of the team got introduced: Anne Mette Hansen, Stine Oftedal, Anja Althaus and Fodor Csenge.
The experienced German pivot, Anne Althaus, is really happy to be here and to be welcomed such an amazing way. She is determined and nothing can stand her way to prove that she is here for a reason, she is expecting an exciting and difficult season.
Many are interested in the first Danish player of the team, Anne Mette Mansen. She would like to prove herself by doing her best to contribute to the team’s goals and she hopes that people are proud of her at home.
Stine Ofedal has been very successful in her career so far, however club success has not come her way yet. The Norwegian center wants to do something to remember in ETO and she is sure that they can do everything with the team. This doesn’t mean, of course, that they won’t have difficulties but they will come over them with joint effort.
The determined, young winger, Fodor Csenge is familiar with the great opportunity of playing in Győr. She is very happy and motivated, she is going to try to take advantage of the situation and wants to prove for herself too.
Dr Bartha Csaba, president, also highlighted the five young talents, Afentaler Sára, Binó Boglárka, Pál Tamara, Szilovics Fanni and Varga Emőke, who got their professional contracts in this season. The youth base of the ETO was the member of the EYOF-winning team and they could get the bronze medal at the European Championship in their age group. We are hoping that they will be useful members of the adult team.
At the end of the ceremony, the fans could also ask their questions, and take photos with their favorite players.
