Interview with Rasmus Lauge Schmidt

 

In a few days, Rasmus Lauge Schmidt will officially be a Veszprém player. We asked the fresh world champion and the back-to-back Bundesliga winner left back about his move to his new home.

 

 

Of course, I am excited. I am excited for a lot of things, like living in a new country with my family. I am excited for the new challenges that lie ahead of me.

 

It was a great season. It was maybe the best season for me altogether with the German championship title and the World championship at home. We lost only four points in the Bundesliga, and I received the MVP title as well. I am really satisfied and happy about the season and I hope to continue with maybe more in Veszprém as well.

 

In the beginning, the fans were a bit mad at me for changing clubs, of course. That is how it should be, but the atmosphere changed quickly. The farewell was great, there was a lot of support for me. They acknowledged for what I did for the club. It was really nice and everyone was very sweet.

 

Moving is always difficult and it is always a lot of stress. Now we have all our stuffs in Hungary, everything is moved. Now my wife and her parents are unpacking as we are speaking right now. So, I will go home now to start helping. We are unpacking for the next three or four days and then travel back to Denmark, where we will be the whole summer.

 

 

I hope they will like it. It is going to be new and of course, it is going to be a challenge. I hope our daughter will like the new kindergarten and I also hope that we will have a great time here. My family is everything to me, so if they are well and happy, then I am even more happy.

 

We like it here so far. There is nice weather, we live in a nice house. In the next couple of days, when we hopefully unpacked everything, we can have a look around Veszprém and Lake Balaton. Maybe discover something before we really move here.

 

The preseason for me is to get to know all my teammates. I know some of them, but to get to know all of them. Also, to get to know the coach, and his playing style, because it is different from what I used to. I think it will be just getting to know the system and how it works. I take it as it comes and I am looking forward to how tough he can make training camp.

 

To win everything that is possible, because I think we have a great team. I hope we can win every trophy we are playing for.
