Team manager of Russian club Victor ANDREEV sees his side successful against AS Pontoise Cergy

The upcoming TTCLM quarter-finals will see the clash between two teams that won six titles in last seven seasons as two-time champion AS Pontoise Cergy faces four-time winner TTC Fakel-Gazprom (first leg to be held in France on January 23rd second one on February 8th). It will be a reprise of the 2013/14 finals when French side has lifted the trophy.

Two years after that finals Pontoise again prevailed (5:4 on aggregate) in the semi-final contest what was decisive for their second and last TTCLM crown so far. Four-time winner Orenburg beat twice Pontoise last year within Group A while now its team manager Victor ANDREEV believes that his club will defeat them again as well as to win TTCLM fifth time in its history:

“We consider the draw of the TTCLM final stage for our team to be successful although the upcoming quarter-finals with the French club AS Pontoise Cergy TT will not be easy. We are already familiar with this team. All our players will seriously prepare for these matches. The management of the TTC Fakel-Gazprom has set a serious task for the team – to win the European Champions League for the fifth time”.
