The last year’s quarter-final position motivates us to show the best of us again. Of course the goal is to qualify in the next phase of the competition but we are aware it will be very difficult. The other teams are very good. We know what to expect from the Ukraine’s team as we know them from the last season. Then in the Group phase we won but I think they will try everything to avenge their defeat. The Croatian team finished their national championships in the last few years on the podium so I am awaiting three close and fierce matches ” said CSS-SZAK Odorheiu Secuiesc Team manager István GYÖRGY.
