I believe that we deserved the support of the editions in the second part of the season", said the captain.

The round of XNUMX was the goal at the beginning of the season, now they want to go one step further.

"We have been waiting for this game for a long time, this was our goal before the start of the season and we succeeded in that." Anything we would achieve in addition would be a sensation. We cannot be favorites against FTC, because they have many more players than us, but we will fight from the first minute and show why we are in the elimination round. We are training hard, we are preparing for this double match, and I believe we will show it on the field as well", Raičevičeva is clear.

This season, Ferencváros defeated Djerba 32:26, ​​it seemed that they took a huge step towards the title of Hungarian champion, but they blew everything with draws with Debrecen and Mošonmadžarovar. He also had some great games in the Champions League, but he lost to Bittighheim even 40:20.

It has a very experienced team, with Serbian women Dragana Cvijić and Andrea Lekić, German women Emily Belk and Alicia Štole, Dutch woman Anđela Malestein, and Hungarian women Žužana Tomori, Sandra Seleši-Sacik and Zita Sučanski, excellent right back Katrin Klujber, top goalkeeping pair Blanka Biro - Kinga Janurik...

"FTC played hot and cold this season, but the same can be said for us. We have to analyze all their matches, although the tactics are mostly repeated. I believe that we prepared them in the best way and that the field will be the only benchmark, where we will show what we did in the previous period", said Milena Raičević.

And Atingre is aware of the quality of Gabor Elek's team.

"I expect a tough match, FTC has great players. We don't want to think about a result that would be good for us ahead of the second leg in Hungary, that can create pressure for us. We have to play at the maximum level and I believe we can win. This season we played against Đer, who is a rival of Ferencvaros in the national championship. They have two excellent players in all positions, they can also be compared with Đera when it comes to quality," said the French goalkeeper.
