Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA assistant coach:
We have accumulated fatigue, the players are tired because they are working really hard in practice. But that’s a good lesson for us, it shows that we need to fight in every game, we can’t give opponents everything because they are going to take it. Everybody wants to play against CSKA, everybody is motivated against CSKA. But what is important: when we play up to our potential, we have a picture that we should have had from the beginning of the game.
