Back in UEFA Champions League, Ferencvaros Aims to Revive History

Back in the Champions League after a 25-year gap, Ferencvros aims to revive its even longer European history while facing Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

There was a time when the Hungarian champion beat Juventus in a European final and its star forward won the Ballon d'Or as the continents best player.

When the club last reached a European final eliminating Liverpool on the way in the 1974-75 Cup Winners’ Cup it lost to Dynamo Kyiv, where current Ferencvros coach Serhiy Rebrov is remembered as one its greats.

So it is fitting that on Tuesday Ferencvros returns to the Champions League for the first time since 1995, and after four qualifying rounds since mid-August, in a group with Juventus and Dynamo.

The adventure starts away to Barcelona for the team from Budapest ranked No. 118 in Europe by UEFA, the lowest of the 32 teams in this seasons competition.

We are very, very proud to reach this level, Ferencvros chief executive Pl Orosz said in a telephone interview, suggesting his is a classic Europa (League) group-stage club.

We all wanted big names … but this is a bonus for us, said Orosz, whose father, also called Pl, played in the 1965 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup title win over Juventus in Turin.

Ferencvros heads to Barcelona fit for a bigger test. The Hungarian league leader is unbeaten in a season that started two months ago with a win over Djurgrdens of Sweden in the Champions League first qualifying round.

Orosz acknowledges there is a huge gap between his club, known affectionately to fans as Fradi, and the multi-national brands of Barcelona and Juventus.

The entire Ferencvros squad is valued at less than 25 million euros ($29 million) by one transfer analysis website equivalent to a few months wages for upcoming opponents Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is our club. We are one team, we are not about individuals, said Orosz, pointing to good scouting as a reason not to fear wealthier rivals who now try to sign his players.

The scorer of winning goals in two Champions League qualifying rounds, Tokmac Nguen was recruited from Norway where his family moved after being refugees from South Sudan.

Rebrov also was a smart hire. The former Tottenham forward coached only in Saudi Arabia after leaving Dynamo Kyiv, which he once led to the Champions League round of 16.

He is very serious, not so extrovert, Orosz said of the 46-year-old coach. Its a very, very good stage in his career. Hes having a good time.

The CEO credits club president Gbor Kubatov, a national lawmaker, with helping choose Rebrov.

Kubatov is a campaign strategist for the Fidesz party led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who a decade ago made a priority of state funding for sport and tax credits for businesses to invest.

The plan was to restore pride in Hungarian soccer: An era of the Mighty Magyars who reached the 1954 World Cup final with Ferenc Pusks, and won the 1964 Tokyo Olympics title.

Hungarys recent stadium-building project will be seen in Ferencvross Champions League campaign.

Dynamo Kyiv will be hosted in its 22,000-capacity home that opened in 2014, and hosted the 2019 Women’s Champions League final. It was built on the site of a venue named for club icon Flrin Albert, who was voted Ballon dOr winner as Europes best player in 1967.

The new arena changed the perception and behavior of the club, Orosz said, though the club will move to the national stadium for its marquee games.

Around 20,000 fans should be allowed to attend in the 67,000 Puskas Arena when Juventus visit on Nov. 4 and Barcelona on Dec. 2

I think the tickets will be sold in a day, Orosz said. Everybody was waiting for success like this and games like this.

The Undoing

'The Undoing' features Nicole Kidman in a mystery that feels like 'Big Little Lies Lite' Hugh Grant and Nicole Kidman in 'The Undoing' (Courtesy of HBO). (CNN) "The Undoing" owes debts to earlier high-class HBO miniseries, but the net effect feels like "Big Little Lies Lite." Reuniting Nicole Kidman and writer-producer David E. Kelley, the six-part production hinges on a murder mystery and trial, but even with its twists and feints, doesn't possess the requisite qualities to become another viewing obsession. Like " Big Little Lies, " it's adapted from a novel, and the entire limited series was directed by Oscar-winning Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier, which in theory provides a continuity of vision similar to "Lies" director Jean-Marc Vallee. Another obvious comparison would be HBO's "The Night Of," also built around a murder, although in a way that proved considerably more compelling. The "undoi...
