Dusan Ivkovic: CSKA deserved the win
11.12.2005
The words of the both coaches at the press conference were expected more than ever.
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- We had a very good game once again. We played very good in the offense for all 40 minutes. 20 assists we have show it pretty well. We also showed some good defensive performance in the second half. I want to thank all my players but especially Russians. Panov, Pashutin, Savrasenko made the great impact for the win. I have a great learning experience from the game. It is about the atmosphere. I think that it is comparable to the one in Spain at Real-Barcelona games.
Dusan Ivkovic, Dynamo head coach:
- CSKA deserved the win. I did not expect such a rhythm of the play. Our main problem was the defense. We could not stop CSKA shooting with a very high percentage. This was the game of the guards and in some ways it looked like friendly as the players of the both teams had a chance to show their shooting abilities. We have to analyze the game carefully in order to avoid such mistakes in the future.
