We shall play all 40 minutes

The head coach of CSKA Dusan Ivkovic:

- It was difficult game. I would like to congratulate players of Dynamo with the good play. The best players in their squad were Nikolas Ekonomou and Dmitry Domani. They had fight till the last seconds of the game. I think that at the beginning the rhythm of my team was not great. Later it was good, and a control of the ball was good. I don’t understand what happened at the third quarter. Dynamo was good in the offence and rebounds. Our defense on Ekonomou and Domani was not great. I can’t say that it was bad, but it wasn’t good. We have to make lessons after this game. We shall play all 40 minutes and continue our work.


The head coach of Dynamo Moscow Valdemaras Chomicius:

- We lose today, but I liked some moments of the game. My players had fight till the last minutes of the game. We were losing 15 point, but we could improve it. At the second half my team and CSKA played equal. We have to improve the team-play in the offence and in the defense. Today I liked play of Nikolas Ekonomou. I want him to play the same in all the games. I hope he would improve his physical conditions.

What can you say about the referring?

- All of us are just peoples. We make mistakes, they too, it is normal. But if you cannot do your work well, nobody can help me. If you are playing good, and your opponents are not, referees can’t do anything.

Why Jefferson didn’t play today?

- He began to play, but he wasn’t good. He wade several mistakes, he didn’t know what to do. I think that I was right when I decided to substitute him. We made a lot of mistakes in offense and defense when he played.

What can you say about Nikolay Padius?

- He began the game very good. He wants to play very much, but he needs to improve a team-play. He must understand our system and the charts of our play. In other things I like his play.

And what can you say about young Panin and Bykov?

- Panin was better. He had more sure in his play. It is very important for young players to play in such games.
