A “We respect our opponents” In a statement posted on the club’s official website, the people of Budafok state: “In today’s difficult situation, it is particularly important to set an example of sportsmanship and mutual respect; sport has to be more than league points, we believe that there are more important values ​​that BMTE represents and media ”.

“CURRENT STATES ARE ABOUT SURVIVAL”
“Dealing with an emergency requires extraordinary decisions. Complex problem now – club website quotes Lóránt Oláh, the sports director of the Budafok people. – On the one hand, the three points that seem easiest are tempting, but on the other hand, we are here to achieve success on the field as fairly as possible. Not to mention, the aforementioned development can often only be achieved in sharp matches. Sport has to be more than results. In difficult situations, it is especially important to return to the true values ​​of the sport. For sportsmanship, respect and acceptance of the other. Although we are aware of the difficulties, of the possible scenarios, we believe that we have made the right decision ”.
“It is clear that current conditions have to do with survival – Olah added. – However, there must be a better solution than having a team with their reserves or ifists standing out for a NB I match. This is not good for anyone. I am sure that together we can find a way to find a solution that is acceptable to all and that the results are achieved in the fairest way possible, in the field.

As planned, Budafok’s leadership met on Friday afternoon to decide on the postponement request in light of the information received from Honvéd. He did, and at the same time wished for the opponent to be infected as soon as possible.

The Kispest first team has fifteen players infected with the coronavirus, eight of the professional and medical staff have tested positive, and the Hungarian Football Academy has more than twenty players who are ill or have recently contracted the disease.

“On Thursday night, the people of Kispest asked for the postponement by phone, in the evening I also contacted the owner Róbert Bélteky by phone in Melbourne, I asked his opinion – informed National Sports about the background of the decision Jakab János, Honorary President of Budafok. – Honvéd’s official written request was received at 10:00 am on Friday, I called the club’s management at 3:00 pm and a unanimous decision was made. For the past five and a half years we have always been guided by honesty and honor, and this time we have taken into account the health and plight of Defense Forces players. We also feel that this could happen to us at any time. Since I was raised for holy Christmas, I didn’t even think it was possible to have a match on December 23rd, but we had to choose the time to make the replacement as we already have a postponed match. Although the match against Ferencváros was postponed by MLSZ, if they had asked us, we would have accepted the postponement without further ado, thus helping Fradi’s appearance in the European Cup.

According to the Honvéd official website, the margin of maneuver was limited when setting the new date, only the additional days designated by the Hungarian Football Association could be chosen, and as Budafok already has a postponed match, on 23 December was still the solution.
