Here you can find the latest news about the "Magic Magyar" of West Bromwich Albion.

Hungarian midfielder Zoltan Gera - who will celebrate his 27th birthday next Saturday - has travelled to Hungary for one day because Pepsi made an advertisement with the West Bromwich Albion ace (alongside with Raúl, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho and David Beckham). The movie was shown first for the media on this Tuesday in Budapest and at the end of the press conference Gera was overjoyed to speak about his English everydays because Sky Sports gave him grade 9 after his excellent performance against Aston Villa while soccernet.com named him in The Team of the Week.

Gera was sidelined for half-a-year but now he's fully recovered and played very well against Liverpool and Aston Villa. "The worst was in my injury that the doctors couldn't say properly what is wrong with me. Let's suppose I break my leg then everyone knew how long time it takes to recover but mine was a more different and misterious case. I suffered a lot during these six months. I think I'm able to develope more and I feel that my stamina will be perfect very soon," Gera explained.

"My English is better and better, I understand everything, as well as the tactics that Bryan Robson tells me. I play on the same part of the pitch like last year, it's the right side of the midfield. The boss asked me to attack on the right side and go forward to catch the crosses. But he added that I shouldn't be stressed, he won't expect me to win the game for the team on my own."

"I felt in the last three weeks that I'm my old self. I got to know it from the reaction of my team-mates - they told me that it's visible I'm very speedy again and my dribbling is the same. They nicknamed me something like contortionist because I'm said to catch the ball in every situation."

"There are not too many games to left from the season and I hope I will play even better against Arsenal. I can play the whole 90 minutes, but I still don't do all the tricks I would like to. What I miss is a bit of more dynamism. I want to play in The Premiership next year - but in West Bromwich Albion. I don't care about any transfer gossips and I'm sure if a team want to sign my they will speak about it to WBA and me first and not to the journalists."
