"BATE is a true leader of Belarusian club football and it is an honour to become a part of the team. Last season I saw a couple of European matches of BATE, and got an impression, that the Borisovites are ready to fight against any big name of Europe. It's BATE who proved that Belarusian club football is worth something. I know the competition in the midfield of BATE is high with such great guys as Likhtarovich, Alexander Volodzko, Pavlov, Olekhnovich. But I am confident I can manage it to the starting eleven and to contribute to the team's success. Otherwise I would have never agreed to move here", — Andrei said to the club's official web-site www.fcbate.by.
