“The sport of the world is currently in a state of undead, and no one can tell what the awakening of this state will be like.” Turco told M4 Sport.

According to him, we have to wait to see what the life of international and national basketball and the Hungarian economy will show when it starts again. He recalled that even before the crisis caused by the coronavirus epidemic, there had been a “negative event of an economic nature”, as a result of which the club lost between 60 and 80 million forints in terms of sales, according to an “estimate conservative. ” In response to a question, he mentioned, more specifically, the drastic reduction in operating subsidies for municipal facilities for this year and next.

“This is a disruption at our level that we still don’t see how we will address.” Added.

He indicated that they do not live solely on the money of sponsorship and subsidies, they maintain various forms of business, and it is not yet appropriate to assess the damage caused by them.

“In March and April we suffered great losses He stressed, however. – Exactly what this Sopron will look like in fall, winter, next spring is now almost impossible to say. One thing can be said with complete certainty: we cannot continue where we have been in the last three or four years. “

To the question of whether the role of the Euroleague of the basketball team (the guard was fourth in the previous call) could be jeopardized: “If I had to answer that today, my answer would be yes.”

“But there is a lot of time and I don’t want to sound the alarms. We have stayed in the mud in many cases in the last decades and we have come out of impossible situations, but the current situation is this” He pointed.

He also said that the reduction in support had occurred before the crisis, and yet would have put the club to the test that “he was not sure that the club could only solve it at this time.”

“So finally” He continued.

Currently, therefore, the question is not whether they can negotiate with new players, but how they can reduce the previously contracted framework.

“We also have no guarantees of maintaining the base of hired players. And I will not enter a deficit year from which we cannot return. You should think more modestly about the sequel. We need to evaluate the terrain, look at mitigation options and cook with what we have. ” Said.

Zoltán Török spoke about Alexander Crvendakics, who was leaving for Lyon after six years, stating that this had nothing to do with the crisis. He added that a basic man falls off the axis of the team, whose replacement cannot be solved from the outside, but from the inside.

“So many young people are spreading their wings with us that there are some who are ready for it. Who am I saying? I am thinking of Border Bernadett. Even if they don’t play one position, their role within the team is not the same, but Border Hatti has now reached the level Alexander Crvendakics attended four, possibly five years ago. “ The executive said, who said it could be a step forward for him to become a basic man who could replace the Crvendakics. In that sense, it doesn’t matter if you play in the WNBA this summer or just attend training camp.

“Anyone who has seen it in the spring agrees with me that it no longer takes an American tour to prove it on paper that I have been told.” He is one of the closest Hungarian players to this level. “ The stressed out.
