Javier Sabate, Telekom Veszprém coach: I'd like to congratulate Meshkov on a good start in SEHA League this season and a good match here today. Obviously no one will take points from Brest easily this season. Our goalkeeper was good today, just like Pesic on the other side. They did not allow us to enlarge the gap forcing us to struggle through all 60 minutes.

 

Dragan Gajic, Telekom Veszprém player: Both teams were good in defense in this match. We’ve played with 150% of our strength because this was an important match for us. Away game and points in Brest will also serve us well ahead of the beginning of CL campaign and duel against Flensburg.

 

Sergii Bebeshko, Meshkov coach: Veszprem has once again proved to play superb, modern handball. Their defense was excellent and their goalie was on a high level as well. We were not good in attack from the very beginning missing some easy, clear shots. However, in the end we’ve had our chances, especially to score when it was 14:15 but we were in the end a bit unlucky to reach a draw. The whole team fought well today but this simply wasn’t our day. I despite of the loss believe we’ll use this match well because upcoming matches will be on the same, high level. I hope we’ll reach better results in those encounters.

 

Ljubo Vukic, Meshkov player: It's very difficult to play against Veszprem. They have the best defense in Europe and on the other hand we were not as successful in attack as we can be. If we want to reach better results in CL we’ll have to improve and score from clear chances.
