Our team has not meet Estonian opponents for six years. VTB Unified League changes the situation: Transaero flight with CSKA on board landed in Tallinn today.
J R Holden was one of dozen players who stepped off Boeing in Tallinn airport. The guard is recuperated from illness that kept him off the team last week and practices from Monday. The roster for the game does not include Artem Zabelin (he helped junior CSKA team in a couple of games vs Lokomotiv Kuban-2) and Ivan Radenovic.
“It is always difficult to play away games, and I am sure that Kalev is planning to provide the real fight for us, - CSKA head coach Evgeny Pashutin said. Our opponents signed three foreign players recently adding some quality on center, power forward and shooting guard positions. Besides, one of their leaders is Tanel Sokk, son of famous Tiit Sokk. We will play in full strength and we are focusing on winning.”
