Early, but not too early

The one and only Final Four for the army men will start in Kazan tomorrow. Our team boarded the Transaero charter flight and reached the battlefield where the best team of the VTB United League will be decided soon.

When it is necessary to prepare well for the deciding games, CSKA always reaches the destination as soon as it possible. This time red-blues did not travel several days before the semifinals but still changed their schedule. The team took the bus at USH CSKA at 9 am, took off from Domodedovo airport at 11 am and had a lunch in the hotel in Kazan. The army men plan to practice on Basket Hall floor at 5 pm (see the report on our site later).

There are no injured and ill players on the roster so the coaches took all 14 players available for two straight away games.
