Ljubomir Vranjes: Thank you for the congratulations. I was not satisfied with the first half. No attitude, no heart. It is impossible to play like we did. Tatabánya did a good job of course. I wanted to cross the first half. We spoke a bit more seriously in the half time. In the second period, we showed attitude and speed, and that is how we want to play. We have to show much more. The game was not about anything, but we have to have a good feeling. In the second half, we fought together well but I was really unsatisfied with the way we played in the first period. We have two more games against Szeged. Those are going to be tough games. I only have one center back, so we will see how he can rest. I think that we can go home now and start preparing of the last two games.

 

Petar Nenadic: Congratulations to Tatabánya, and good luck in your new life (Harsányi Gergely). The coach told everything, we weren’t satisfied with the first half. Fortunately the second half was better. It is very important to win games like this against good teams. We had one hard game before Szeged, that was a good start to get ready for the two final matches. Now we will start to prepare for the final and correct the mistakes.

 

 

Vladan Matic: Congratulations to Veszprém and Ljubo. We played a good game. We stopped a bit in the second half, and Veszprém could turn this game around. Besides this, we played well and celver for 50 minutes. We have to get some experience, so we would not make so many turnovers, but instead we would score goals in important moments. The annoying thing is that those games that we practiced for power play did not work. In conclusion, I am satisfied, and I wish good luck for Veszprém for the championship final.

 

Gergely Harsányi: Congratulations to Veszprém, and to both teams. We played a good game, we could make use of Veszprém’s slower than usual plays. The host could turn this game around in the second half, which shows why Veszprém is one of the best team in the world. I am happy for the championship bronze, and it is a great pleasure for me to close my career here. I would like to thank the Veszprém fans for this farewell.
