David Davis: We had this match between the Champions League eight final and the Hungarian Cup FinalFour. If we do not play, then we have training instead. I tried to give everyone time to play and to get the feeling of the game. We knew that our opponent was the last team in the league and that we can use it as a preparation for the Cup. I think it was good for us to play this game. It was not so complicated today.
Momir Ilic: A lot of respect to Vecsés, but quality was on our side today. We did not start the first half very well but after that, it was okay, the defense as well. We have to take these kind of games seriously.
Damir Stojanovic: It is always a pleasure to have these kind of games against Champions League participants. It is a great privilege for me as a coach and my players to play against such players. They were strong and we tried to prepare for them. For us the League Cup is the most important now. We tried some small things to improve and I am satisfied with how they acted and fought on the court while listening to the tactical orders. If we can score against Veszprém from these, I hope we can wcore against weaker teams also.
Nebojsa Vojinovic: I am happy that we could play against such a strong Champions League team. We felt like Veszprém was a bit tired and we played well at that time. After that, however, they got better and this shows on the final result. Congratulations to Veszprém.
