Today the delegation of the army club went to the second road game of the group stage of Euroleague ULEB by the regular flight from airport Sheremetievo-2. Tomorrow CSKA will play in Istanbul against local Ulker.

Dusan Ivkovic took 12 players to Turkey. They are guards Theodoros Papaloukas, Jon Robert Holden, Marcus Brown, Zakhar Pashutin, Vassily Zavoruev, forwards Sergey Monya, Sergey Panov, Antonio Granger, Demos Dikoudis, Martin Muursepp, centers David Andersen and Alexei Savrasenko.

There were not any representatives of Turkish press in the airport. Players and coaching staff moved to the bus and went to the hotel. The weather was not warm, it was raining... but after Moscow snow all the team was glad to see green trees around.

In 10 minutes our bus get the hotel Crown Plaza which is situated on the seaside near Marmarian Sea. In the evening CSKA went to the traditional 2-hour practice to the home arena of Ulker which has more then 11 thousands seats.
