The sky is the limit for heavily changed OSC, says Vigvari

Summer sensation Vince Vigvari has told the Hungarian media that his team has ‘huge potential’ this season, despite a substantial and radical change within the squad.

Speaking in an interview with the league’s new sponsor, MOL, the twenty-year-old World Champion supported his club’s strategy, saying, “If nothing else, this much can be said about OSC: the potential is huge in the team.”

“Sunday’s second leg in Szolnok already gives some indication of our playing strength,” with Vigvari referring to OSC’s comfortable 18-11 win, which propelled them to the Final-4 of the Hungarian Cup.

OSC’s Transfer Business – Summer 2023

Arrivals: Simone Rossi (Ortigia), Roland Gaszt (PVSK Pecs), Baksa Benedek (Eger), Lars ten Broek (Polar Bears), Mark Grieszbacher (Eger), Petar Szalai (KSI)
Departures: Krisztian Manhercz, Danial Angyal (both Marseille), Marton Levai, Gergely Burian, Dome Dala (all Vasas), Erik Bundschuh, Erik Csacsovszky (both BVSC)

While external expectations for OSC have lowered with the departure of seven key players, including Krisztian Manhercz, Marton Levai, and David Angyal, Vigvari remains firm that the club’s expectations remain high. “Even though our team has undergone significant changes, our ambition is strong, and we, the players, believe that we have a place in the medal battles in every series.”

“Family first, competition second” – Vince Vigvari

What does a successful season for OSC look like, given that the squad is somewhat below the quality it possessed last term? Vigvari, by his own admission, acknowledges that the immediate future could be difficult. “Big tasks await us this year, first in the Hungarian Cup, then in the championship and in the Champions League qualifiers,” Vince admits. “On paper, OSC has weakened,” he concedes, “but we believe in ourselves, and the initial games show that we truly have a lot within us.”

“The sky is the limit, really,” he adds.

Apart from the personnel changes that OSC has undergone since last season, there is another change affecting all teams in the Hungarian League this season, with the length of the pitch shortening from 30m down to 25m. This change is something Vigvari contextualizes:

“The game was completely different in the 25-meter pool because the five meters from the center of the court were exactly where you could attempt a shot. There, it was possible to move at 70-80 percent speed, typically without contact. Now the situation is that we transition straight from defense to attack, and we have to battle everywhere in the water.”
