Xavi Sabaté: Congratulations to our team because it is not easy to win in Tatabánya. They are a strong team and they signed good players in the summer which made them even stronger. I am satisfied with the way we played. We played a great game. Our defense was phenomenal and Mikler was outstanding. When the defense works perfectly the goalkeeper performance is perfect too. In offense Chema and Lékai lead the plays well. Ilic is in a very good form now. He is not young but now that we have to travel less he is able to achieve his top form. The whole team worked well today. Good luck for Tatabánya for the rest of the season.
Péter Gulyás: It was a fierce game. Tatabánya has a very strong and tall defensive wall which was hard to crack. We tried to give our best today and I am happy that we could play well. We are trying to do anything we can in every game so we can improve and achieve our best form for the end of the season.
Vladan Matic: Congratulations to Veszprém, they deserved to win. It is hard to win a game against such a good goalkeeper performance. Our young wingers made a lot of tactical mistakes unfortunately. We were exhausted from the traveling whereas Veszprém was more rested. We have to improve both in offense and in defense, especially in tactics. I am not dissatisfied so we move on.
Adrián Sipos: Congratulations to Veszprém. They played well with a great goalkeeper performance. Unfortunately we had lots of individual mistakes. We should not feel sorry about ourselves because against such a great team as Veszprém you just cannot be dissatisfied. We are not used to the pressures of series of games like the top clubs as Veszprém. A little rest comes in handy now.
