And for sure this clash could be a match in the semis or in the finals.” Coach of Dusseldorf`s side Danny HEISTER stated: “We´ve played against Chartres several times in the last years. It has been close the most time. Sometimes we won sometimes we lost. Chartres is always hard to play. I think that or players are in a good shape at the moment and that we are motivated to win this match and to decide the group.” Borussia`s newcomer Stefan FEGERL former Niederosterreich`s player now will experience well known TTCLM rivalry: “In Chartres we won 3:2 and I´ve been successful against Robert GARDOS in the final match in five sets.
