Gergely Böszörményi-Nagy, a Brain bar Its founder mainly spoke with Sándor Csányi, President and CEO of OTP Bank, about the prospects for the Hungarian economy, the global economic situation and the lessons of the crisis, but the impact of the coronavirus epidemic on football was also discussed in the one and a half hour interview.
“If you allow us, we will start the championship, the MLSZ presidency has taken a position on this before and has also informed the teams about it.” According to our calculations, we could start between May 23 and June 13, and in this case we could finish in late June, early July. “ made the point Sándor Csányi, emphasizing that an official description of state regulation is expected at the moment.
We report that on Thursday, the government allowed indoor sports and amateur sports and training and mass events beginning May 4, and based on this, National Sport Online also made the league’s earlier start possible. May 23.
However, the government information on Thursday did not make clear whether the license for training and closed circuit matches was valid for the entire country or for the field alone, perhaps it was also the comment by the MLSZ president that they were waiting for precise state regulation.
According to Sándor Csányi, the NB I and NB II teams have an infrastructure that can be used to create the conditions for a fresh start (pre-match testing, isolation of potentially infected people, compliance with additional health regulations), but they must be created significant testing costs. According to the president of the Hungarian Football Association, the resumption of the tournament is also important in this regard, since in this case the clubs will receive sponsorship money for the entire season.
In this context, he said about amateur football and the relaunch of the Bozsik program as soon as possible: “They start at least again” – justifying the considerable cost of the tests necessary to maintain health, the physical difficulties of carrying it out, which bring together the order of hundreds of thousands of participants in terms of the entire field of youth and adults.
Regarding NB I and NB II, Csányi clarified that in the first days there will obviously be closed goalkeeper matches, according to government information, events of more than 500 people cannot be held until August 15, which he commented joking: “Our stadiums are not usually crowded, the alliance had a vision for the future by shaping the audience so that they could be managed in an epidemic.”
As you know, to the Hungarian national team The qualification for the European Championship awaits Bulgaria, whose date is not yet known. Sándor Csányi said: the competent body of UEFA will be discussed on May 11 The national team program in the near future, in this case we will see it more clearly.
REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
The coronavirus epidemic is rocking soccer clubs around the world, and it seems logical that the much-appreciated idea of regional leagues comes to light, that is, the richest teams can go to those leagues while fleeing.
“I support it or not – said Sándor Csányi, who also holds senior positions in international soccer – because I still can’t see clearly. ”
Mental research and experiments are being carried out on this matter, but according to the President, it is not only necessary to find reassuring answers to sports questions (sufficient number of BL-start, El-start in but also the economic background.
A big question, for example, is that if a sponsor who still focuses on national championships today sees a greater opportunity in hunting for regional points and has become a way to ensure that this does not cause irreparable damage to the national championship.
STABILITY AND STATE PARTICIPATION
“The role of the state is greater than in other places, but it cannot be called excessive in relation to the product” – Csányi responded to a forum question, adding that while there may be increased interest in national team matches, NB I also caters to high fan demand that should not be considered “overpaid” compared to other shows. of TV.
The president reiterated what he had recently in an exclusive interview with National Sports He also explained: in the conditions created by the coronavirus epidemic, the situation of Hungarian football compared to neighboring countries, and even stable in Europe, which is a relative competitive advantage, based on this “I am sure that Hungarian football is on an upward curve.”
At the same time, even if the negotiating position of Hungarian clubs improves internationally, he believes that the difference between “big” and “small” will not decrease significantly in the new situation either.
Regarding the expected decrease in Tao money, he said: As head of OTP as well as president of MLSZ, you believe in the reserve, “We have been collecting for ten years,” that if an emergency arises, they can build a bridge.
