Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team with the win and a game. It is 2-0, we accomplished the first part of our task, now we go to Nizhny Novgorod. We have two days to prepare, though we have some other obligations. I am happy that we continued to fight, kept the same intensity level. Besides we have Nando back, he got some significant playing time which we used to get him back to his rhythm.
