He was used to be the best player of the world. He is still a legend. He says that he has future, not past. He doesn't speak about his player career. Moreover, he considers his coach career closed. He is working as a sport manager. Operation of Vodafone Water Polo School together with Gábor Csapó, and management of Vasas aftergrowth fulfil his days. He has been fighting passionate water polo to be reformed for 25 years. Complaints are flowing from him, but he is still optimistic regarding the future of water polo. His opinion about international control of water polo is strong. Interview with Tamás Faragó, Olympic champion.

In our new series we ask a (former) national team player, who has disappeared for some time or is ready to make a decisive step. Gábor Jászberényi meets both criteria. It's no use to search for his name among the players of Vodafone OB-1 next year.

We wish happy birthday for László Baksa, goalkeeper of national team and Szeged-Beton.

The semi-finals of Vodafone OB-1 has finally began. Eger triumphed over FTC by confident play. Biros's team needs only one more victory to qualify into final. In the evening it seemed after the first half that Vasas grinds Szeged: home team got 6:1 lead, in spite of this the end was exciting. Race to 10 points will continue from 4:4. Videointerviews and every goal of the two matches.

This year's Euroleague Final Four official website has opened. So who is on the home page? Hmmm? Well, the player of the decade, Tamás Kásás, who will be in Naples with Pro Recco. Together with four fellow-countryman.

Dénes Kemény national team's coach published those 18 names who could have the chache to be in those 15 who will play against Slovakia on 19th April. According to the habits publised the names on VLV. But the real news is not this...

The match was played in Kőér street's swimming pool because of TV broadcast. Vasas beat Ferencváros by six goals and it seems that their performance is getting better. Every goal, photos, video interviews:

The Hungarian champion ran into a big defeat at home from Partizan Beograd. Vasas is downturn, but the problem is bigger: the Serbs is very strong which is unlikely for Eger before Wednesday's Euroleague quarter final. All of the match goals and interviews with Dániel Varga, Norbert Hosnyánszky, Gábor Kis and Viktor Nagy.

There will be a match in this round which is important regarding the playoff pairs: Ferencváros travels to Eger. In our beforehand article (where you can find the program of the round) the captains of FTC and Eger gave us interviews.

The four qualified teams to final four of Italian Cup decided among themselves the fate of trophy last weekend in Florence. The best Italian clubs met and Pro Recco confidently defended their title. At the end of the Final Four-system final Pro Recco's captain, Tibor Benedek could lift the cup. Not much later he gave an interview to VLV.

Recently we showed how that commercial was made, where Dénes Kemény, Péter Biros, Zoltán Szécsi, Norbert Hosnyánszky, Gábor Kis and Norbert Madaras were promoting Vodafone's new package. The campaign starts now and we are the first to show the 30-seconds long film, which was made by a strong effort. You can hear the radio-version, too.

Cattaro could keep the four goals advantage of home match. The second match ended with a draw and this means that Cattaro qualified to LEN Trophy's Final. Two times olympic champion Tamás Varga, player of the Montenegrian team, can defend the title, because he won the Trophy last year with Szeged-Beton. Cattaro's opponent will be Savona. After Monday's draw in Rome we will know who will organize the first match.

As the official homepage of the Hungarian men's national water polo team, in an attempt to start a tradition, we have asked all 23 player featuring the national team in 2009 ten questions about last year. We are going to summarize the answers and will not only report the outcome, but list every single answer the players gave us.

We were getting ready for this interview with Tamás Kásás for a long time. He gave us the sign: we can start the conversation, which also means he thought everything through, talked to everyone whose opinion matters and made his decision about his own future (which somewhat affects the fate of Hungarian water sport).

With nice, touching festive foramilities, Miskolc's new sports establishment the city sports pool that bears the name of Dénes Kemény, was presented. Naturally, the person whose name was given to the establishment was present on the commencement ceremony, as well as the national water polo team.

Tibor Benedek the champion who stepped back from the national team after Beijing is getting ready for a new season. He will have to renew once again, they are expecting him in Pro Recco to perform well in the championship. Meanwhile, he's getting ready for civil life, we asked him of the details of his sport related business plans on this pre-season interview.

We greet Zoltán Kásás, Szeged-Beton's lead coach, who helped the head coach in the past three successful Olympic cycles in the Hungarian men's water polo national team with love on his birthday!

He's only 22 years old, but he's already more than simply great talent, he's a key figure in the squad of our old nemesis, the Serbian national team and is also a world class player. Olympic bronze medalist, European champion, world champion and - with his authorization - we proudly share that he is a registered reader of vlv.hu. With the introduction of Andrija Prlainovic we continue our preceding initiative, getting to know the star players of our greatest rival better.

He's still only 22 years old, but already one of the best players in the world. Grandmaster of improvisatory water polo, an individuality whose every single move is worth to go to a match for, even if it is a simple championship match in Szonyi or Olympic finals in Beijing. An interesting man; vegetarian and he may be a racing driver later on. Rowdy, cheeky dare-devil, whose past holds quite a few dark stains and only just matured now, as an Olympic champion. Our interview - in our opinion - shows that it really is like that and maybe sheds light on the reason as well.

It was almost exactly a month ago that Gábor Hegedüs, player of Eger, was taken into the hospital with serious injuries straight from the game against the Greek in eighth-finals of the Belgrade Universiade. The player (who Dénes Kemény considered for the bigger group of named entries of which the world championship team was selected from) suffered a broken cheekbone and decided to get surgery straight away in Belgrade. He did not regret his decisions, his injury is healing well, he expects to begin training next week.

In Budapest, at the dawn of Friday, the first child of the Madaras family has been born. The mother and the baby are both fine. Since it's a little boy, our hopes are not with Norbi's brother, Markó alone, who plays in Eger, seems like reserves are insured for a long time. We congratulate the Madaras family in the name of VLV and Hungarian water polo fans and wish Zétény Márk Madaras a long and happy life that is rich in successes!
