This year Telekom Veszprém's roster consist of 20 players. In our new series we are going to ask the same 20 questions to each player. We are moving up by the jersey number, our twelveth subject was Gasper Marguc. You can read the chat with him below.
What is your favorite food?
I would say the classic pizza.
What is your favorite drink?
I really like lemonade.
What is your favorite color?
My favorite color is blue. Like the sky.
What is your favorite movie?
I do not have a favorite movie. I like to watch action and sci-fi movies. For example, I loved The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I like ancient type of movies that are science fiction.
Who is your favorite actor and/or actress?
My favorite actor is Denzel Washington. His movies are great. My favorite actress was Jessica Alba for some time but not so much for her films but her looks. (Laugs.)
Who is your favorite musician?
I do not have a favorite one. I love every kind of music. Not just from these days but also old classics. I like music that you can listen to any time you want and it does not matter how many times you have heard it already, it still sounds good.
What is your favorite song?
I do not have a favorite one either. I have a playlist that I listen to before a game, which has my favorite songs, but I do not have one favorite.
What is your favorite book?
I do not read too much. The last book I read was Game of Thrones after I started watching the series. I did not finish all the books because there are a lot of them. I read the first one and I figured that I would rather watch the show.
What is your favorite animal?
As a pet, I like dogs. Other than that, my favorite is the lion. It is a strong and beautiful animal.
What are your habits before a game?
On game days, I usually eat the same food and after lunch, I always take a half hour nap. When I arrive to the Arena I also have the same routine. After the coach speaks, I always clean my shoes. No matter where we play, I always go the bathroom before we step on court. I tie my right shoe first and then my left one. Just these small things.
What is your proudest moment in your career?
One of the best moments was when I could make a move to a team like Veszprém. We qualified for the Final4 three time on a row. However the thing I am most proud of is when we won the bronze medal with the Slovenian national team in the World Championship in January.
Who is your role model?
When I was younger it was Vid Kavticnik and I also liked Mirza Dzomba. Now when I am older it is hard to say if I have a role model.
What would you be if you were not a handball player?
Hard question. I would probably have finished school, a different school. I cannot imagine myself out of sport. I would probably do another sport, or be involved in a sport somehow.
Other than handball, which sport do you like the most? Which team and/or player do you support?
In football, my favorite is Barcelona. In basketball, I like the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant even though he does not play anymore but I think he still is a big name. I like tennis, watching and playing both. I like watching every kind of sport. I am an all-around sports fan.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I hang out with my girlfriend, I hang out with my friends. I like to watch a good movie or go to a restaurant and eat good food. The other thing, that I do not like but I have to do, is I sometimes have to leave some free time for school.
Which is the prettiest city you have ever been to?
Certainly, Budapest is one of the prettiest cities. I like it a lot because it has everything. It is not too big. I was in New York over the summer with my girlfriend; we were fascinated by that city.
What is your dream car?
I do not have a dream car right now. Maybe if the club would not give me a car I would buy one. But at the moment I do not need to buy one so I am not thinking about it much.
What do you fear the most?
Maybe snakes. I know everybody says that but it is general. I think I would say failure. I fear that too.
What is your motto?
Always look on the bright side of life. Does not matter if things are bad or not you always have to see the bright side at the end.
Are there any skills you wish you had learned?
I know that a lot of players said it already but I think it is a cool skill to have. I would like to learn how to play on an instrument. A guitar or an accordion. You are definitely liked in groups if you can play an instrument.
