Xavi Sabaté: I would like to congratulate our team because we played well. Our defense was good in the first half, we had lots of fast break goals and our offense was good. But we made some turnovers that I am not happy about. We are glad with the win because we did not have a lot of time to rest and prepare, we are after a hard clash and a long travel. Velenje is a really good team and that fact makes the victory even more worthy. But starting tomorrow we are focusing on the game against Silkeborg.

 

Dragan Gajic: It was a tough game. It is always hard to prepare for a game after another game both mentally and emotionally within a short time, especially after a loss. I think we did a good job because Velenje is a great team playing typical Slovenian handball: they are fast and run a lot. They get better and better every day. I think we prepared very well by video sessions. I am sure we will have an even tougher game in Slovenia.

 

 

Borut Plaskan: First of all congratulations to Veszprém, they were the better team today. We did not play well in the first half. In the beginning of second half we were better but then we had again a lot of turnovers and in the end they put 9 between, so congratulations again to Veszprém.

 

Gregor Potocnik: It is hard to say good things after a game like that. Veszprém is a strong team with 2-3 strong players in each position. We made a lot of technical mistakes and it made our job even harder. Congratulations to Veszprém.
