Ljubomir Vranjes: I am satisfied with the draw tonight because it means we can stay at the second place of the group. I think it was a great handball game from both sides. Of course we can talk about small things, but I would rather congratulate to my team for fighting back because we were behind Flensburg during almost all game long. And how we did it was good but we can do it better in some point of the game. We will try to do it. It was great to be back to the Flens Arena once more but it was a strange as the coach of the opponent team. But it is life. I wish to Flensburg all the bests for the future and I hope we will see each other in Cologne.

 

Dejan Manaskov: We are really happy for this point because before the game we want the second place of this group. Now we have one more stop to achieve this. We have to win the next game. It was a great game today with a lot of goals and running. Our defense could be better maybe, but this is handball, this is sport. We are happy now but we keep fighting.

 

 

Maik Machulla: We have to be unsatisfied with this draw because we do not have the chance now to get to the second place. But we got one point against this great team and this is a good result. But in the end of the day it is not enough. We played well 40-50 minutes long and then we have some problems in attack. Then I called a timeout but then we made two difficult decisions in this situation and lost the ball and the game has changed. That is why I am not satisfied. But of course I happy as well with this performance and what we did in the Champions League group phase. Now we will have a tough game in Aalbrog and we will do everything to get the third position in the group.

 

Kentin Mahe: I am not satisfied at all. We can be angry because we were front in almost all game long. It is sad but this is sport like Dejan says. We can be proud for performing well against such a great team like Veszprém but at the end we are sad because of the result.
