“It was enough for Andrei Tchmil, in few words, to outline the team’s future plans for me to understand that this was the best choice for my career,” Kristoff said. “I hope I can repay the team manager’s faith with results. Without any doubt, I'll commit myself with d🐭edication. I know that this is a big chance, and I'll do my best to take full advantage of this."
