Ljubomir Vranjes: I think we did what we should have done. We had some things that we will need in the future. We know that László Nagy is not going to play in the upcoming weeks so we really need to step up in the defense without him. We tried different constellations in defense. I was pretty satisfied. We have a bit more to work. Almost every game in the season that are left are like a final for us. There are no more times for experiment so we go all in from now on. I think Balatonfüred is doing good. They are really developing in Balatonfüred and I like that. Good luck for that in the future.
Andreas Nilsson: Thank you for the game! We were focusing on the defense and from it we wanted to score fast break goals. We had some mistakes, but I think we were playing pretty good during the 60 minutes. We were quite aggressive in defense and we were running a lot.
István Csoknyai: Congratulations to Veszprém, they played outstandingly with high tempo and deserved the two points. Our goal for today was to play a closer game than it actually ended up but we did not succeeded. We wanted to stay within 10 goals. Naturally, we came to learn from Veszprém. What we planned to do worked well for 15 minutes and it was all right. When I changed in the line up the difference between the teams came out. In the second half, we wanted to defend better around the line player and push the play to their backs. It did not happen either. Our opponent was better from the line, from the wings, and from fastbreaks as well. We had some pretty moments too. We have an important game next week that is why I rotated the team. They had some taste from world-class handball and can see where they can improve. I think our young players stood their grounds. In conclusion, congratulations to my team but it was visible how big of a difference there is between the two teams.
Bendegúz Bóka: Congratulations to Veszprém! We wanted to play a good game today and tried to enjoy the match. The problem was that there were 8-10 minutes in each half of the game when the things were not going well for us. In these periods the Veszprém could make bigger their lead. We had some nice actions and we could score some fast break goals, too. These were absolutely positive things. From now we start the preparation for our next game against Eger.
