Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
We got to work better, we have seen where we are right now in terms of communication. New players arrived, they have to get know each other. We have two more practices here and three in Moscow before the Gomelsky Cup. I hope we are going to be much more effective. In the first half, we had a problem with turnovers. We solved it in the second half, we outran them and shot the ball pretty good. I gave a bit more time to the ones who played for the first time, like Voigtmann and Strelnieks. I am satisfied with the performance.
