The line-up of โ€œFakel Gazpromaโ€ Orenburg will be the same in 2014/15 Men`s European Champions League season. Thus it is not hard to predict that Dimitrij OVTCHAROV (actual world`s no. 4) Vladimir SAMSONOV (no. 11) and Alexey SMIRNOV (no. 51) should be again no. 1 seed in the best club`s competitions but this time fully aware that they have to defend their high positions in the game.

โ€œItโ€™s a pity that we lost the matchโ€ said actual individual European champion Dimitrij OVTCHAROV speaking about defeat from Pontoise in 2013/14 MECL final. โ€œWe believed in our victory and were close to the success but we lacked two points onlyโ€ฆ This season was very difficult we managed to defeat very strong rivals and of course it took so much effort. Iโ€™m very upset after this European Champions League final match. Nevertheless I think that our club has succeeded greatly over the recent four years. Four European Champions Leagueโ€™s finals two titles of the best European club โ€“ are the top results.โ€

Orenburg became in very short period one of the most crowned European clubs in this millennium winning twice MECL title (2012 2013) and playing three more ETTU finals: MECL 2011 2014 and ETTU Cup 2010 (they were the champions). In new season they will fight for its sixth European final and 4thย trophy.
