I’m not crying, but it’s emotional: Kitchee’s Krisztian Vadocz scoops four at Hong Kong Top Footballer Awards
The midfielder, who plays for the Premier League champions, steals the limelight as he is named Hong Kong Footballer of the Year at a ceremony in Kowloon Bay
Kitchee’s Krisztian Vadocz scooped a staggering four awards at this year’s Hong Kong Top Footballer Awards after a sensational history-making season with the club.
The former Hungary midfielder kept his cool on stage but conceded that receiving the awards nearly brought a tear to his eye.
“I’m not a very sentimental guy but this is a very emotional moment,” said the 32-year-old, who won the Hong Kong Footballer of the Year, Players’ Player of the Year, Most Favourite Player and Top Midfielder in Kowloon Bay on Thursday evening.
“I feel very honoured to receive these trophies – as a foreigner this moment is even sweeter and it’s evidence that I’ve played in the Hong Kong Premier League.”
In just his second season, the midfield talisman guided Kitchee to back-to-back Hong Kong Premier League titles and Hong Kong’s first ever win at the AFC Champions League after defeating Japan’s Kashiwa Reysol earlier this year.
