Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to my team with the win and good game. I think we controlled the game from the beginning till the end, we executed our strategic plan and play focused. We faced the team which is very aggressive both offensively and defensively, which already won its first title by defeating Bayern in German Supercup, which is still unbeaten in domestic league. There were some difficult moments when Alba stretched our defense, when it denied the passes to our creators. In the first half we had problems with offensive rebound but we corrected the numbers after the break and I am glad that we fought on the boards either playing big or small.
