Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- We started the game very softly and that put us in trouble. Ferrara which will play in A1 next season was very aggressive and used our softness effectively. In the second half we started to play more consistently. The key roles was played by Sasha Kaun and especially Viktor Keyru who completely changed the game with his tough defense and penetration in offense. Also Nikos Zisis and Viktor Khryapa who doesn’t totally recovered from the injury played a very good game. This time I did not dress Smodis and Savrasenko who are not physically ready to play at the moment.
