❓ Please introduce yourself to the readers! Tell us a bit about your family and your career!

🗣 Hi everyone,

My name is Hunor Batzula, I am 16 years old, and I was born in Sfântu Gheorghe.
I started playing football here in Sfântu Gheorghe in 2014, with the Sepsi OSK team. 

❓  How does it feel to live and play football in Transylvania?

🗣 Living and playing football in Transylvania is a special experience, as the region is rich in history, cultural diversity, and beautiful landscapes. The local communities are supportive, and sports, especially football, play an important role in everyday life.

❓ What are your short- and long-term goals in football? Is there a particular club or league where you would especially like to play in the future?

🗣 My short-term goal is to secure a spot in the starting lineup at Sepsi OSK as often as possible and to score and assist as many goals as I can.

My long-term goal is to play either in Spain or in the Premier League in England.

❓ If you have the chance, do you watch Hungarian football? Do you have a favorite Hungarian team?

🗣 Yes, whenever I have the opportunity, I watch Hungarian football. My favorite Hungarian team is Fradi, but I also enjoy following the games of several other teams.

 ❓ Do you have a role model? 

🗣 Yes, my role model is Lionel Messi. His talent, humility, and determination on the field are truly inspiring. It's not only his technical skills that impress me but also the way he works for his team and always gives his best.

❓How did it feel to play in the Romanian first division at such a young age? 

🗣 Playing in the Romanian first division at the age of 16 is an exciting and challenging experience. It is a significant step for a young athlete, offering many opportunities for growth and laying the foundation for a professional career. Gaining experience at such a young age helps strengthen both technical and mental skills.

❓ What do you enjoy doing in your free time when you are not training or playing?

🗣 Outside of football, I enjoy fishing in my free time. It is a calming activity that helps me relax and recharge in nature.
