Ljubomir Vranjes: It was two different half times for me. Our players played in Celje a few days go so naturally they were a bit tired, and the legs were a bit heavy they could not think fast and concentrate enough. The 19 goals we got was acceptable but we made a lot of mistakes and our defense was not the best today. We talked about these things in the locker room after the first half. After that they played well and did a great job. I am satisfied because we got the two points. From now on we only concentrate on Flensburg.
Gábor Ancsin: I can only say the same like they my coach before. In the first half the things did not happen the way we wanted to, but after that our defense got better, Roli (Mikler) was fantastic in the goal line, so we could get a lot of easy goals. Our opponent got tired, so we could make advantages from that. That was a good preparation for the first Champions League match here, in Veszprém, but we know, we still have a lot of work in this week until it.
Csaba Konkoly: Congratulations to Veszprém. We played two different halves. In the first half I could have been proud of my team. The contrast was visible between the two periods. We showed our second line too. The part objectives we wanted to achieve were achieved in the first half but in the second period they were demolished completely. I was a bit disappointed because of this but all in all I ended on a positive note. Good luck for Veszprém for the Champions League game in the weekend.
Márk Holló: Congratulations to Veszprém. The first half was good, we could make everything what Csaba (Konkoly) asked for. We were patient, we were able to run back, had some steals and we could score 15 goals. In the second half, sadly we got worse, technical things did not go out well, and we got a lot of fastbreak goals, so difference got even bigger between the two teams.
