György Kiss: Congratulations to Veszprém for the victory and for the fair attitude. 90% of the team was made up of youngsters. We tried to stand our ground, and I think we managed to do that. We can leave with our heads held high. We scored 30 goals, and with a little bit more of a goalkeeper performance the result could have been closer.
 
Máté Ónodi Jánoskúti: Congratulation to Veszprém. Today’s match was a good preparation for the weekend. We came here to play freed, I think we did it and we played a really good game.
