CSKA is already in Madrid

OnWednesday afternoon CSKA left for Madrid for the game of the 12th day of the Euroleague against Real. The game starts at 22.45 (Moscow time). There are 12 players in the roster. They are forwards David Vanterpool, Sergey Panov, Nikita Kurbanov, Vladimir Dyachok, centers David Andersen, Alexey Savrasenko, Anatoly Kashirov, guards J.R. Holden, Theodoros Papaloukas, Zakhar Pashutin, Vasily Zavoruev. Slovenian forward Matjaz Smodis would not be able to take part in the game once again.

There were no changes in CSKA travel plan until the team arrived in Madrid. The Army club had a practice in the morning, then left to the airport, was on time for the charter flight. But in Madrid the team had to stay in the plane for almost 40 minutes because there was landing for 17 flights in the same time and it was almost no free boarding bridges in the airport. Also it took CSKA rather long to get the baggage. By the way we would like to express our gratefulness to the airport police service that let us make some pictures in the area. Nevertheless the team arrived in the hotel in time to see the last moments of the Panathinaikos – Unicaja game broadcast. The result of it made the matchup with Real even more important.

Tomorrow the team is scheduled to have a practice in the morning, than the video after a nap and finally the game.
