“We expect an even tougher match against Halkbank than the one we played in Turkey. Turks are very proud people. I knew this even before my daughter Hélène started to play with Besiktas ISTANBUL. They are eager to celebrate their first victory in the Champions League competition as well. Halkbank did not quite demonstrate their real level so far. This applies to many aspects of the game whilst we, on the other hand, performed really well. We do not expect any walkover on Wednesday night but we are preparing for a real fight,” says Emile Rousseaux.
Recall that Knack Roeselare defeated Halkbank in the previous round of the CEV Champions League.
