David Davis: I am satisfied with the result and with my team. The boys played well today. Eger did not play for three months so good luck to them in the future.
Gasper Marguc: We wanted to get back the good feeling after the international break to feel how it feels like playing well. We managed to do so and we could prepare for the Champions League next week. We took the game seriously for 60 minutes and played good handball. We are looking forward to the CL game.
Edmond Tóth: Congratulations to Veszprém. I am happy they took this game seriously and dictated high tempo for 60 minutes, while defending well also. Today we could measure how we are right now. Everybody did their best. Our attacks were full of mistakes still and our efficiency was not so good either.
Tibor Balogh: Finally we managed to play a game after the hard weeks and months behind us. We had a good preparation in the summer, then we had to stop and start all over. We were looking forward to this game a lot, and it would have been good to play in front of our fans. We do not know what the future holds, but we keep on going.
