Ljubomir Vranjes: Thank you for the congratulations and I can also start to congratulate everyone for a good game. Handball fans could see an exciting match. I like how young Celje plays for years now. I think they played a really nice handball. That should have respect with so much young players. They played well today, and they always have good results. It is not a surprise that we had a close game, I warned my players before. It is difficult for them to keep up the level, if they cannot keep their players. The end game was decided because of our experience. That is important in these kind of games. I am also happy about my players of course. We started very good in the first 15 minutes, and we could run. They scored 22 goals and we had a really good defense in the last games but I do not know when they could score this much goals in the champions league, they score around 30. I am happy about the defense. I wish Celje all the best in the future. I hope we will see each other next year as well.

 

Kent Robin Tonnesen: First of all, thank you for the congratulations! We knew that it will be a difficult game as Celje plays a very good handball. We tried to prepare for the match as best as possible. Our defense was really good from the beginning. It was not an easy game but at the end we managed to win. I would like to wish Celje good luck for the remaining part of the season.

 

 

Branko Tamse: Congratulations to Veszprém and Ljubo for the win. I think that it was a good game for all 60 minutes, expect for the last 5. Ljubo played with all his players and could change to rest. We played good handball. I am satisfied with how our players played for 55 minutes. I am sad about the result, Veszprém was better but I think it should have been less goals between the teams. We played well with young players and could stay in game against a better Veszprém. Good luck for Veszprém in the future and for the Final4.

 

Jaka Malus: First of all, I would like to congratulate Veszprém! We were playing good today, except for the last 5 minutes. In the last few minutes we made many mistakes and Veszprém was able to score goals out of them. They were the better team. I would like to wish them good luck for the following games in the Champions League.
