David Davis: Ferencváros has a great season, no wonder that they are on a good spot in the championship. We played a hard game against Fradi last year, and this year as well, but I have to say that the referees clearly had a touch on the game this year and last year as well. All my respect goes to FTC and I am sorry that I have to say this. They did not whistle on clear faults against our line players, and not because they did not see it, but because they did not want to whistle. I feel like this, and I am really sorry to say this. Congratulations to Ferencváros’ performance today.
Omar Yahia: It is hard to play in away, and the supporters of Fradi made a great atmosphere. I think the the key to victory was our physical superiority. We had problems in defense, but that did not stop us in getting the two points.
Attila Horváth: Congratulation to Veszprém, but congrats to my team as well. I saw the fullest fight on the court, but sadly, after 45 minutes, Veszprém took his advantage of the longer bench. It was expected to happen, but we stood our ground. I could send out young players to the game as well, who proved to me in defense and offense as well.
Timuzsin Schuch: Congratulations to Veszprém for the victory, but congratulations to us as well. We could be an equal opponent for 45 minutes. We could change a bit less, and mistakes came because of exhaustion.
