This is mainly due to the arrival of new people to the team, who are not only great players individually, but also strengthen the team unit. There is a harmony between us, a great communication on and off the field, which is not even common in professional clubs,&#8221; explained team captain Dominik Varga. <\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;font-size: 18pt\">&#8220;Last year, we won in Szeged after the University of Debrecen team beat us. But in the last months we have improved a lot, we have done the training together and the team has come together. This is shown by the fact that we won the Medic\u2019s Cup without losing a set,&#8221; said player-coach Dr. D\u00e1niel Ter\u00e9ki.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;font-size: 18pt\">The harmony between the two of them is also shown by the fact that they highlighted the same moment from this year&#8217;s competition: in the match against the University of Debrecen, they managed to score with three brilliant touches in a row, and the whole team rushed together burst with joy. As they said, it was a perfect symbol not only of team unity, but of the Medic\u2019s Cup as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-31284-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/hirek\/files\/2022\/05\/49.-MEDIKUS-KUPA-1-video-converter.com_Trim3.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/hirek\/files\/2022\/05\/49.-MEDIKUS-KUPA-1-video-converter.com_Trim3.mp4\">https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/hirek\/files\/2022\/05\/49.-MEDIKUS-KUPA-1-video-converter.com_Trim3.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;font-size: 18pt\">The team is trained together in a similar harmony. Dr. D\u00e1niel Ter\u00e9ki graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry (FOK) last year and has been involved in training and matches as a player-coach since then. He played for several years at the second division (NB II), participated in national team training camps and played volleyball for the University of Physical Education and the P\u00e9nz\u00fcgy\u0151r team in the first division (NB I). &#8220;I started my studies at Semmelweis University in 2016 and quickly joined the university sports scene. I took over the team from the captain in 2017 and handed over the position to Dominik last year,&#8221; he recalls. <\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;font-size: 18pt\">Dominik Varga is currently a fourth-year student at FOK, and as team captain he is also involved in the coaching. He has been playing sports since 2009, having played in all the youth divisions, then in the first division of Budapest, and for MAFC in the NB I, and was also a member of the U19 national team.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31297\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31297 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2022\/05\/Varga-ropl.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2022\/05\/Varga-ropl.jpg 400w, https:\/\/semmelweis.hu\/english\/files\/2022\/05\/Varga-ropl-203x135.jpg 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dominik Varga<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;font-size: 18pt\">&#8220;The players know their tasks, we are a well-oiled machine where the different parts of the team are constantly communicating with each other. For example, when time is called, everyone has an observation or comment, and with the help of these, we can constantly make the game more and more effective,&#8221; said Dr. D\u00e1niel Ter\u00e9ki.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;font-size: 18pt\">Dominik Varga added: the team members are among the best individually, but team spirit was indispensable to win the Medic\u2019s Cup. &#8220;Our number one setter, D\u00e1niel Barab\u00e1s, was unable to participate in the tournament, but our number two setter, first-year \u00d6rs Szalai, played a great game and was absolutely up to the task. Our center, Dr. Krist\u00f3f N\u00e9meth, was injured during one of the games, but he took part in the game and gave one of the best performances of his life,&#8221; he said, adding that they are very grateful to the university administration, especially to Rector Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely and Korn\u00e9lia V\u00e1rszegi, Director of the Centre for Physical Education and Sports, as well as the fans for their support, which was essential for the success.<\/span><\/p>\n\r\n        [slb_exclude]\r\n        <div class=\"row galeria-wrapper mx-0 h-auto\">\r\n            <div class=\"col-9 pl-0
