Ljubomir Vranjes: Thank you for the good game. We tried something new in the beginning of the game, in the first 15 minutes. I wanted to see how we react to certain things but after that, we went back to normal. We did not prepare too much, I just wanted to see how we can play the game. I let my players play and see what level they are on; I do not say too much in the championship, they have to manage themselves to have the development. I think today FTC had a good attitude, they were aggressive and they wanted a lot. We wanted 2 points and got that. I rested some players. Momir Ilic played more than I thought. Nenadic is still not there yet. It was a useful game for us before such an important clash like the one we will have in the weekend against Flensburg.
Gasper Marguc: It was a tough game until the end, they were fighting back, so congratulations to them. We were not on our usual level, but I think we still had the result under control, and the victory was never in danger. It is the most important. It was a bit harder than we expected, they did not give it for free. We needed to play seriously for 60 minutes.
Attila Horváth: Congratulations to Veszprém, we fought a great battle. I said to my team that if we do everything to achieve a good result here, we can leave the court with our head held high. The players did what I asked them to do. We could play a great match, and were able to be in a party with Veszprém, and even to get close in the second half. Total congratulation to my team. This game was perfect for our preparation for the upcoming games in the championship. I can only talk in superlatives about my team. If we can play like that against Veszprém, I think we can stay in the first division for sure.
Benmiloud Mohamed Yassine: The fate of the 2 points were never a question. We had to do our own job, and we did just that. We started to go on a new road, which is good and it works. We were great in defense and we made very little technical mistakes. As we have said earlier, we cannot let anybody to think they will have an easy game on our court. We accomplished that, altough not against a full powered Veszprém, but the most important is that there were no injuries and everyone can leave with positive experiences tonight. Our opponent can only be happy with the 2 points. Good luck to Veszprém for the weekend.
