David Davis: The match was good, and I was amazed that they were so good all the game. It was a great game for us. We had this problem with Sterbik in the beginning of the game. Our defense was good and we could run just as the opponent. It was good for us because it was like a Champions League game. Everybody could play today and they took it seriously, that is what I like. This is what I asked from them and I am satisfied.

 

Andreas Nilsson: Thank you for Eger because they played well today and made out job harder. We could run a lot and practice seven against six defense. I was happy to see that my teammates fought hard today.

 

 

Edmond Tóth: Congratulations to Veszprém. We could play an entertaining game today with a lot of goals and good tempo. We could lead great plays and scored good goals. The defense got tired in the second half. Despite that I can say only positive things about the game from which we could learn. Good luck to Veszprém.

 

Péter Schmid: Congratulations to Veszprém and good luck to them in the future. I am happy that we could play a good game here. It was a great experience to play here because I was born here and have great memories from the city. This game was a good preparation for us against Mezőkövesd.
