The media rumours was confirmed as Veszprem a new defensive specialist in the ranks. Thiagus Petrus has signed for a year with the Hungarian giant and will once again play for the coach Xavi Pascual.
Petrus leaves Barcelona after seven seasons but remains at the highest level on the European scene. Hungarian handball is no news to the 36-year-old who can account for three years in Pick Szeged.
– ‘m really looking forward to my debut in Veszprém, I know what it’s like to work with the team’s coach, Xavier Pascual, and I can see how much the club is doing to achieve its goals, which quality players the club is signing or extending, who, like me, also want to reach the final four in the Champions League and win it, says Petrus to Veszprem´s website.
In Veszprem, Petrus will also benefit from playing in front of the enthusiastic fans.
– I have played in the Veszprém hall several times as a rival, so I know exactly how fantastic the fans are, they always stand by their team, which can add a lot to the performance on the field. I have felt this as an opponent so far, but I am happy that from the summer I will have the opportunity to do so in a Veszprém jersey, he continues to the club webpage.
