Veselin Vujović, PPD Zagreb's coach:

We've known that Veszprem are big favorites and they have showed that on court today. Our goal was to play a good match, do our best and I believe we've done that. Defence was fine, attack lacked faster 'flow' but all in all it wasn't bad. Of course, I am not satisified with a loss but I think we've showed that each team has to prepare and play great if they want to reach points against us. I hope we'll meet with Veszprem once again on F4!

 

Zlatko Horvat, PPD Zagreb's player:

Good match for us, real battle on the court. We've played really well against strong opponent. We've even had our chances but lacked few easy goals. But that's how it goes. I believe that the fact that we've brought the match into an narrow ending says much for itself. I'd like to thank Varaždin for a great atmosphere.

 

Carlos Ortega, MKB-MVM Veszprem's coach:

Zagreb have played an outstanding match today, as expected, Key for our win today was our defence and I can say I am satisfied with 3 new points. Our goal is to finish the regular part of the season without a lost point and in order to do it we'll have to beat Vardar in Skopje in the last round.

 

Mirko Alilović, MKB-MVM Veszprem's goalkeeper:

Zagreb have not lost a match at home in CL this season andI believe it is clear why. Details have decided the match. We have a good team and it must be hard to stay close all the time. Considering us, we're on a good way to remain unbeaten until the end of the season and that's what we're satisfied with.
