MOL - Pick Szeged vs THW Kiel rematch - interviews before the match

Juan Carlos Pastor: We know that it will be an extremely difficult rematch against Kiel. We have to be even more better but we are working on it. First of all, we have to improve in defence. We can't lose any balls in offence and we have to run back after offences as fast as possible. We have to trust in our game, in our system and the most important is that the players trust in each other. I am sure that Sparkassen Arena will help Kiel but for Final Four we have do our best in Germany as well. We have to focus on only ourselves and enjoy playing handball.

Szabolcs Zubai: This two days were really good (they got free day on Monday and Tuesday - editor) as we had a very tough game against Kiel on Sunday. Of course, this free days were not completely about relaxing. I went to the gym, work out, cycling and some of my teammates went for rehabilitation as that fight had left some traces. But luckily everybody is fine now. In my opinion, in that kind of situation there is no injured person, you can feel less pain as usual during the season. We are facing a serious challenge, we made a step, the advantage is with us now, our destiny is in our hands. We believe in ourselves and in the victory. We prepared a lot both physically and mentally. We watched videos to analyze our mistakes, we tried to memorize what not to do. We had a training session in Szeged on Friday and then we had one in Kiel in Sparkassen Arena yesterday. We dream about Cologne and I believe that we can aim this dream.

MKB - MVM Veszprém vs PSG - interviews before the match

Antonio Carlos Ortega : We had a good match in Paris last Sunday, we were especially good at defence but we have to improve in offence. We did not play well in the last 2-3 minutes. However, my opinion regarding the end result is that : if  somebody told us before the match that our home game will decide about Final Four, probably we would sign the "contract". We have to focus on Paris and prepare carefully for the home game. We have to do our best as we want to be in the Final Four. We will be more powerful with our fans at home for the rematch.

Carlos Ruesga: This match will be very difficult as PSG is a very good top team. However, our aim is cannot be anything else - with the support of our fans - than to reach our dream and to be in the Final Four. We have to improve in offence compared to the previous game but of course, we have to concentrate and be perfectly focused until the last moment. If we can do our best, we will have a great chance for winning.

Péter Gulyás: We can put the blame on only ourselves for losing the 5 goals difference to the end of the match. We chose wrong solutions in defence but mainly in offence. Because of this we will have an extremely difficult rematch. We will need emphasized concentration for 60 minutes to be able to beat our opponent. However, it is compulsory to win in front of our fans at home.

Roland Mikler: We made many mistakes in the end of the previous match but we drew the conclusion from it. First of all, we have to keep our stability in defence. The opponent cannot get more than 24 goals. Moreover, we have an opportunity to score, we can't miss it. Then we will have the victory. But for this, our fans' usual amazing support is essential.

interviews - Pick Szeged vs THW Kiel - CL match

Szabolcs Zubai : It was a very tough game but there was nothing new under the sun. This is what we expected. I've just told to the coach that the he had the greater part of the success as he had to make a plan, a strategy to beat Kiel. And it seems that it was successful. I am very happy now.  Although, I have to mention that we were leading by 5 goals too soon, if we talk about perfectionism. But all in all, we had a great match. Kiel was leading in the second half but we showed that how much power and perseverance do we have. We could stand up and win by 2 goals.

Dean Bombac : We had a great victory against one of the best team of the world. They have many top players. We are very lucky because of our fans as we couldn't win without them. We will prepare carefully to the next match as well. We can play without pressure so we will see. The point is that our dreams are still alive.

Marko Vujin: I am happy that I could play again here, in Hungary. And it is true that we lost this game by 2 goals but in handball this difference means nothing nowadays. So we will prepare carefully to the home match and we will try to correct the mistakes which we made. And then hopefully we can be in Final4. Every match is a "different world", I cannot say now who has greater chance to win next week. As I said, we will prepare and then we will see.
