Andrei Mochalov: Congratulations to Veszprém for the victory! We had lot of complications before this game and we arrived here mainly with young players who were only spectators when we first played against Veszprém in this season. We tried to play the best way possible and I think it was not an easy win for Veszprém. Thank you again for the hospitality and congratulations once again to Veszprém.
