Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
I want to say thanks again to Ryazan that they came here for these games and to wish them good luck on upcoming season. As for us, we tried some defensive strategy, used wider rotation. It worked not perfect but at that level where we are right now I’m satisfied with the effort. Definitely we’re on the good road. I’m optimistic how things are working at the end of third week. We got Joel out with small injury and Victor is not with us. Youngsters from CSKA-2 are helping us a lot and this is also important.
