Joan Carrillo: The result was a fair one

The two managers spoke following the final whistle.

Joan Carrillo: I would like to congratulate Honved, who really wanted the point and did a lot to get it. It was an intensive and fast game. We directed play in the first half, creating several chances, which we scored one from. Honved came back in to the match in the second half and got hold of the second ball and stopped us playing our own game. We still had chances during this period but could not score any further goals. I decided on my line-up with an eye on the cup final with Ferencvaros. It is only natural that I rest some of the players who needed it, but the main reason is that the club has decided that we should prepare for the Champions league qualifiers in the remaining games this season, and to play those players that will be with us next year, but have had limited match time.  The injury to Juhasz does not seem serious but we took him off just to be safe. He is a very important part of the team so we do not want to risk him. The medical staff will now check him over thoroughly and we will then know if he can play in the cup final. Naturally it would be good to know as soon as possible about the squad that we will have for next season. The one certain thing at the moment is that the draw for the Champions league qualifiers will be made on the 22nd June. The first game will then be on either the 14th or 15th July.

Marco Rossi: It was a balanced match against a fantastic team, who are made up of very good technical players who do well in one on one situations. We had several chances towards the end of the game, which had we scored just one from could have won the game and not undeserved. We picked up a very important point today.
