Feyenoord offered him a two-year contract, but the deal fell through. In early January 1985, a Dutch newspaper wrote a nearly full-page article about this interesting transfer. This article was recently published by Gábor Békeffy, a Belgian-Hungarian manager. It should be noted that he “strongly sympathizes with Vasas.” Moreover, his father, Jenő Békeffy, who died young, was one of the most famous football managers in the world. Just to name a few: Johan Cruyff, Johnny Rep, Rob Rensenbrink… Ultimately, Béla was denied a work permit in the Netherlands. The reason for this has not been revealed, but it is true that at the time, extremely strict conditions had to be met if someone wanted to work as a foreigner in the land of tulips.
