Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
It was a difficult week for our team. Three days after David Andersen injury came hard for CSKA. The players saw all this pain that his teammate experienced and hey reacted in this game. I am satisfied with the game we played for the first 3 quarters. Only in the last period when all the veteran players left the court we started to make mistakes.
Would Smodis and Vanterpool be able to play against Ulker?
- They would start practicing tomorrow and I hope they would take part in a game.
Can you name the players that are in the list to replace Andersen until the rest of the season?
- Not yet. We have watched a lot of videos these days, speak to different people… We are trying to find the best possible solution in the situation.
