Xavi Sabaté: Congratulations to my team for the victory and congratulations to the guest team, they played well. We knew that we will not win by a large margin. I agree with my colleague that we played well in the first half and we could score fast break goals. It was difficult on the far side in the second half. Sierra was outstanding and our goalkeepers did not perform so well in the second half. That was a big difference. I am happy for the win. From now we focus on the next game against Vác and then Zagreb.

 

Andreas Nilsson: We have got a very tough game as always. At the end of the game we have got the win by 2 goals. In the 2nd halftime we haven’t got so many power and fighting a sin the first. Next to that the number of our fast break goals was lower as well as. I am already looking for the next game against Szeged.

 

Juan Carlos Pastor: Congratulations to both teams, for one for the first half and the other for the second half. We played terrible in the first half. We started to pick up the competition against Veszprém in the second half. Many of our players came to Veszprém to win first time today but it is not easy to do it here. We lost by 2 goals. We have 6 games left and we know that we have to win all of them to win the regular season. We continue working the way we did before and we prepare for the game against Silkeborg.

 

Bánhidi Bence: First of all I would like to congratulate to the Veszprém. After an undisciplined 1st halftime and different team was on the court on the second period. The defense and the performance of our goalkeeper supported the power of the team only. We have got more opportunity to take the lead but we couldn’t reach this. We played well, but the 2 goal difference is not on our side now.
