Ljubomir Vranjes: I am very satisfied. Two point that are important for us at home. The first half did not look so bad for me. It looked bad when we shot at the goalkeeper. We missed 17 shots against Kiel who has two of the best goalkeepers of the world. We had to talk about defense after the first half, and after that, they did better. We had problems with Weinhold and Kiel’s goalkeepers continued their great performance. We were down by two goals and the fans helped us back, we scored 3 goals in a row. Thank you for that. The team fought every second ont he court and I am happy with the way they did it. We needed that because Kiel is a good team and it is never sure if you win against them. Now we have to look ahead to the games we will have. We concentrate on FTC on Tuesday.

 

Dejan Manaskov: We are very happy for these 2 points. It was a very hard game. On the 1st half we weren’t playing bad but missed a lot of shots. On the second half we were playing better az deffense and focused more on the shots. All in all, I’m very happy for these 2 points.

 

 

Alfred Gislason: Congratulations to Veszprém and Ljubo. The victory was well deserved because they played well. We were losing balls in the first couple of minutes and then the game has turned. We played well too and fought back to win but we could not do that. We tried to put pressure on Veszprém. We had a penalty to turn the game but we missed it but that is life. We will try to learn something from this game but no points for us today.

 

Steffen Weinhold: Congratulations to Veszprém. We had a good first half and an excellent goalkeeper. On the second half we let Veszprém to come back to the game. We had more mistakes and many missed shots. At the last 5 minutes we had a chance to gain 1 point but Mikler had a lot of good saves.
