Patrice Caneyer: Congratulations to Veszprém, they showed why they have big chance to get into the Final Four. I wish them good luck for the future. It was difficult to prepare for this match; you can see this on the final result. Our form is very vacillating, last week we played great against Vardar but now everybody could see what happened.

 

Diego Simonet: We can learn a lot from this game and we can use these conclusions very well in the matches of knockout round.

 

Antonio Carlos Ortega: You could see that this match was without pressure for both teams. I am sure this is not the real difference between the two teams; we should not forget our game in Veszprém. There was a big difference between the goalkeepers that was one of the main reasons of our victory.

  

László Nagy: We always pay big attention on every match we play in France because we really respect the French handball. The Montpellier is one of the best teams in this country but we came here to win and we made it feel for our opponent. We played well, we had luck many times but the Montpellier did not have. I can just repeat Carlos Ortega’s words, there is not such a big difference between these two teams.
