The two managers spoke to the media shortly after Wednesday's final whistle.
Marko Nikolic:
"I congratulate my team for the win and for going through. It was important to us to be in the last four. We have now won 9 games and drawn 1 of our last 10. We have also managed to twice beat Ferencvaros in this series. Perhaps it is boring that I am always counting, but I will continue to do this and hope we can continue this until the end of the season. We controlled the game throughout and await the draw (Vidi were paired with Debrecen moments after the press conference), and we are preparing to face Honved on Saturday in the big league game."
Sergei Rebrov:
"We lost the game after 7 minutes and were down to 10 men from then on, which made things very difficult for us. We still had chances despite this and could have gone through with 10 men. I want to thank our supporters for their backing. They really help us and we also had several players out injured: Blazic, Lovrencsics, Siger and now Gorriaran are out."
