Piotr Przybecki: I congratulate Veszprém’s coach and team for the great match. We are playing very tight matches against Europe’s best teams, such as Barcelona, Paris and now we were able to get one point. I believe that we deserved this point, however good luck and Corrales were needed to do that. I am proud of my players but I also think that we will be way better than this in the future.
Marko Tarabochia: I congratulate Veszprém and my own team. After the defeat against Barca and PSG, this point is very important to us. We believed in ourselves and fought with our best knowledge. We need to follow this way and then we will be more successful.
Xavi Sabaté: I congratulate Plock’s team for the game and for the point; it is always a pleasure to play in front of the Orlen Arena’s fans. I am sure that everybody enjoyed the match because it was exciting and tight all the time. We missed our most important player in defense so we had a lot of problems. I am not saying this as an excuse because sport is always like this and injuries belong to it. In the second half we found our cure for their hard defense with the Chema-Palmarsson pair. At the end everything depended on the penalty what we missed out even so I congratulate every player of my own. Usually I do not care about the referees, however at the end there were interesting judgments and I did not understand why they did not count Palmarsson’s goal. We will continue our hard work.
Mirko Alilovic: I congratulate the home team! It is very hard to play in Plock, we could not manage to win here and we did not succeeded this time either. At the end there were interesting judgments and I think that the irregularity against Sulic should have deserved a penalty. We had the key to win but we did not use that. Of course draw is better than defeat so we got a point. We are working on, getting more powerful and waiting for our injured players to come back. We did not start well the season but there is a very long road ahead of us and the most important matches will be during spring. The team will be ready for that with 100% and we will show our real face.
