The two managers gave their reaction to the Hungarian cup tie on Wednesday evening.
Marko Nikolic:
"Just as is normal with cup games, this was also a difficult tie. We made several changes to our team compared with those that started against Honved. We are approaching the end of the autumn season and we need to rotate the squad. We gave those players the chance that have had limited match time so far. There were those that lived with the opportunity better than others. However, I will not mention any names as that remains inside the dressing room. We missed several chances but managed to make it through to the next round, which is the main thing."
Csizmadia Csaba:
"I am completely satisfied with what I saw. You can lose like this even though it is painful. We were very organised in the first half. We conceded a nice goal, which Nego did well to score from. You cannot teach this and it was wonderful movement from him. There were periods where we played well in the second period. We got hold of many balls as Vidi hung on. Sadly we conceded a goal at the end, but there could have been more to the game. I am curious whether there was an offside in the build up to the goal, but it is no excuse that we lost to a better side. I have a positive feeling on the game and hope that we can take this performance into the weekend game."
