David Davis: It was very difficult to play today after the Champions League match on Thursday. It's not easy to clear your head in 48 hours, but it was good to forget a little about the last setback and move forward. The numbers were good today. We move on. Good luck to Budakalász.
Rodrigo Corrales: As Coach Davis said, it was not easy to play today after what happened on Thursday, but the team came back well and put up a great fight. We have had a long and good season, it would be a shame to throw everything away now, we have to give everything we have. On Wednesday we play Tatabánya, followed by the championship finals against Szeged. It was important to play today and win.
István Csoknyai: Congratulations to both teams. Veszprém came to us from a difficult match but they played a good and fair game. Congratulations to my team because they played well in the first 20 minutes and the young players did well. The spectators had a good time. Good luck to Veszprém in the championship final.
Tamás Boros: Congratulations to Veszprém, because they played well for a team that has just started. It was an entertaining match, but for us it was not the most important match, but the one next Saturday, which we have to win.
