Ljubomir Vranjes: I am satisfied with the game and I think that it was no surprise, that Tatabánya played like this. If you see many games from them as I did before you realize that they play equal. It does not matter if it is Dabas or Chambery. They are like a chameleon. They reach the level of the opponent they are playing with. It was like this the whole season. I think they did well, great defense and goalkeepers. Their offense had some moments but their defense is really good. My team fought every minute on the court it does not matter who plays. They want to win. We won at the end, and I think we deserved to win today. Two point for us and we are happy about the victory in Tatabánya. I think William’s injury is really bad. We have to do some checkups but I think he will not play for a while. I think he has torn his Achilles.

 

Iman Jamali: I am sad about William as well as everyone. I am not really satisfied with my game, I think I can play much better as I showed before. I am happy about the victory. We could win at the end, and as the Coach said we fought tonight as a team. It was hard because Tatabánya plays well at home and they have an aggressive defense. We knew it and analyzed that in the videos. We had a good defense today and our goalkeeper performed well. I am happy about the 2 points.

 

 

Vladan Matic: Congratulations to Veszprém. They are a world-class team and they had to show their world-class skills to beat us tonight. We need a little bit of routine to defeat a team like Veszprém. We did not score in the first 10 minutes of the second half and we missed 2 penalties also. A 5 goals difference was between the teams and it was enough for Veszprém. We did everything we could and fought until the end. This crowd deserved it. I think that if we carry on like this than we are on the right way. You can see that the Juhász-Bozovic-Grigoris trio needs more experience, to know when to shoot or pass or make a move on the goal. A young team like ours need that. Hats off to my team, we did everything we could.

 

Ferenc Ilyés: Congratulation to Veszprém, they deserved to win today. We need more work because the team is young but we have potential. It was clear in the game that when we had our period we could climb up and get a draw but Veszprém brutally punished our lowest point in the game and we were just running behind the result. Disregarding that fact, I think we made Veszprém put a big effort today which played with their best line up, we thank them for that. We have to carry on with the work and I think we can perform this was next week to give ourselves a chance against Szeged. We will do our best and will see what happens.
