What is your favorite food?
It was roast a la Brasov for a long time. I think my favorite food now is chicken soup with a lot of pasta in it.

Unfortunately zero coke.
What is your favorite color?
I guess it is the olive green.
What is your favorite movie?
That is easy, my favorite movie is Who finds a friend, finds treasure with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill.
Who is your favorite actor and/or actress?
My favorite actor is Will Smith and my favorite actress in Jennifer Lawrence, who was filming in Budapest a while ago. I like her very much.
Who is you favorite musician?
The problem is that there are no musicians nowadays, everybody is a DJ. But I like Edda a lot.
What is your favorite song?
My new favorite is Feels by Calvin Harris. He made this song with Pharell Williams and Katy Perry.
What is your favorite book?
I do not read too much.
What is your favorite animal?
My favorite animal is the dog.
What are your habits before a game?
I eat pasta of some sorts on the day before the game. I top it off with some pancakes with Nutella. I eat pasta on game days too. I listen to music before the match, but I would not say that it is a habit it just helps me to relax and turn off a bit before we start. I have underwear that I only wear for matches. Furthermore I hit the posts every time I stand in goal.
What is your proudest moment in your career?
Obviously the fourth place in the London Olympics. After that to the silver medals in the Champions League which I hope to change to a shinier one this season.
Who is your role model?
My role model was János Szathmári when I was young. I would say it is him.
What would you be if you were not a handball player?
I think I would be a DJ, obvious. Like everybody else. (Laughs)
Other than handball, which sport do you like the most? Which team and/or player do you support?
Nothing. I am not interested in any other sport.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I was sailing a lot this summer. I really like doing that in my free time. Other than that I like listening to music, rest and travel.
Which is the prettiest city you have ever been to?
Veszprém! I have been to a lot of places but I have not seen anything from the city itself. Maybe Barcelona.
What is your dream car?
It is an Audi RS 7.
What do you fear the most?
I fear the depth of the water. I do not like going out to the water with my boat at night because I feel like the water is too deep.
What is your motto?
Discipline, attention, humility!
Are there any skills you wish you had learned?
I would like to learn how to play a musical instrument. I think I am going to learn it eventually. I would like to learn how to play the piano and the guitar.
