Javier Sabate: The coach of Celje makes a very good work because he must rebuild his team almost every year in order to replace the leaving talents. The atmosphere was fantastic. I am really thankful to the Veszprém fans for coming here in a large number and supporting us. In the first 20 minutes our defense was great and with that we could establish our victory. In the last 10-15 we got loose unfortunately and this is not permissible for a team playing in the Champions League. Congratulations to Celje for fighting until the end.

 

Gasper Marguc: This is always a big pleasure for me playing in this arena. In the first 20 minutes we was playing fantastic both in offense and defense. In the second half we made a lot of mistakes but our victory was not threatened.

 

 

Tamse Branko: Congartulations to Veszprém for the victory. It was a well-deserved. We started the game very bad making a lot of technical mistakes. Veszprém is one of the best teams in Europe. It is very difficult to come back to the game against such a quality team after so many mistakes. I am very sorry for the injury of Mlakar that seems to be serious.

 

Blaz Janc: We started the game terrible, we allowed our opponent to score a lot of easy goals. In the second half we could find our play both in defense and offense. Congratulations to my teammates for the good play in the second period.
