Ljubomir Vranjes: My thoughts are really good. I think we played a good game with good defense 6 against 6. They had to play 7 against 6 early, which was good for us. We can analyze it and train it as well. We saw that they played against Paris that way but it is different to train that way or use it in a game. They fought back in the second half. We had problems with the 5-1 defense they had. We need to improve our attack against that kind of defense. I am happy with the victory but we have to work but we are not set and we will work harder to become better.
Gasper Marguc: Thank you for the congratulations. I have expected a faster game but the seven against six play of Aalborg made the match a bit slower, that were able to adjust to. So all in all I’m very satisfied that we won and I can still see the progress in our team.
Aron Kristjansson: I would like to thank Veszprém for the game and congratulations on the win. It was difficult game, Veszprém played good defense and it is hard to play here. We made too many errors in the first half and I think the referees signaled passive game too many times too early. I think Veszprém’s goalkeeper had a great game. We needed more performance from our goalkeeper as well but overall it was okay. In the second half, our 5-1 defense was good. That is something we can take with us to the games ahead. We tried to play 7 against 6 in attack and that kind of worked, this is another thing that we can take with us.
Magnus Saugstrup Jensen: Thank you for the game and congratulations to Veszprém. It was a difficult and hard game. Veszprém was phisically stronger than us, so finally they managed to win the match.
