Word to the coach

Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

This period for us is about gaining the consistency. We had a good game against Astana, hopefully we will show the same level of seriousness and competitiveness against Kalev. We played very serious game in Tallinn in the first leg, our defense was the key. We want to rely on our defense and create things off it.
