As we have already informed you, MVM Veszprém’s pivot player Andreas Nilsson and the team have extended contract for two more years until June 30, 2019. We made a short interview with our Swedish players about this before the team went to Presov.
Andreas, congratulations on your new contract. How do you feel about that?
It’s really great. I love everything here: the team, the fans, the town and the country. I really like it here so I’m really happy that my contract has been extended.
How hard was making the decision? Were you hesitating?
Not at all. It was a very easy decision. I’m glad that we could make that happen, I hope everyone else feels the same way.
What had you expected when you signed for Veszprém in 2014? Did your expectations come true?
You never know what to expect. I knew what I’m capable of and I wanted to show it to everyone. That’s why I’m really happy that I have the chance to continue my career here for another two years.
If you recall the last year and a half, what has been your favorite moment?
Of course winning the SEHA League, the Hungarian Championship and the Hungarian Cup. And I will never forget the Champions League Final Four where we lost unfortunately and it’s not the greatest memory but I hope it will be different this time.
What about off the court?
Lake Balaton is beautiful in the summer; I really like to be there with my teammates. And since it is near, we often visit Budapest to have some fun.
How do you find your role in the team?
I am quite easy-going, I can’t be said to be a loud player in the dressing room. I come here to train, I do my job, I do the same things as the others. I’m one of the players in this team; I get on well with everyone. I think I’m a normal guy (laughing).
Lastly, what would you say to your fans?
It is always great playing in front of our fans that are the best fans ever, I think. I can’t believe I can play here for at least 3 more years. Go for it Veszprém!
