Elek Gábor, FTC-Rail Cargo Hungaria:”Congratulations to ETO, they deserved to win, however, I’m not happy about the goal difference. In the first half, our attacks were great, they couldn’t get through. The differences in height and weight showed in the second half. We knew if ETO played well, it would be difficult to win, but I’m not satisfied with the final game.”


Ambros Martín, Győri Audi ETO KC: “Congratulations to the opponent, they made it hard to win, mostly in the first half. It was obvious that we are not in our final condition. We had only 20 days to train together. We played against a team which plays very smartly and knew our weaknesses. That is why we had difficulties. In the break we discussed our problems and it improved in the next half.”


Hornyák Dóra, FTC-Rail Cargo Hungaria: “In the first half we could play what we had planned. We didn’t make many mistakes in the attacks. In the second half we slowed down and got balls away and that’s the reason of the big difference.


Jana Knedlikova, Győri Audi ETO KC:”I’d like to react on the two halves. We couldn’t work the way we usually do in the first. But we improved a lot in the second and our defense got stronger and could get balls and of course we have to mention the excellent goalkeeper performance”
