Ratko Djurkovic: Congratulations to Veszprém. We are trying to prepare as much as possible and today we showed that our form is getting better. I cannot be completely satisfied because we had mistakes in offense. The boys played better than last time and I hope we can continue this way. The next 16 rounds will be really hard.
 
Csaba Bella: Congratulations to Veszprém. It is great to play against such a strong team and we can use it to prepare for our close rivals. Our offense and defense improved but there are still mistakes. We will work on that in the next week.
