Szeged - Veszprém pregame statements

Ljubomir Vranjes: Szeged does not have a team like Paris or Vardar Skopje but they play very well on a high level. They are in the top10 teams in Europe, which means that you can win or lose anytime against them. The differences are small. I think Szeged is doing really well. They are a really good team. I played in Szeged, so I know the atmosphere there. Two of the best teams of Hungary competing against each other. We are playing in away so they will have the support of their fans. I am looking forward to play this game, because I heard from a lot of people how special it is. I have never met Szeged as a coach so I am excited about how it is going to be. We are preparing for Szeged and we want to win. Their biggest strength is defense. They can change their defense tactically. They have a good attack as well but they are living on their defense.

 

  

 

Momir Ilic: It is going to be a big fight as always. In the 5 years I have been here, it was always like that. We will try to win there and I think that we have a chance for that. We are in a good form, and I expect victory in Szeged.

 

 

Dragan Gajic: It is a classic derby in the Hungarian league. It is always a difficult game for us. Szeged plays good, but we are also in a good form now. I expect a hard game between two classic opponents. I hope at the end we will win. The key to that is to play our game. We cannot let them to play their tempo, we have to emphasize our game and tempo. If we play according to the plan from the first minute of the game, we will get the 2 points.

 

 

Dejan Manaskov: Szeged is a good team. I have never played in a Hungarian derby but I have played against Szeged many times. I know their team, they have the same system with coach Pastor that they used in the last 5 years. They have some new players. It is always tough to play there because their hall is not so big, but there is great atmosphere and pressure from the fans. It will be an interesting game and I think we have a chance to win. It will be a hard game so we have to fight for 60 minutes and we will see at the end.
