Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:
It was difficult to find right words to motivate the team when we found out that Avtodor is missing five key players. But we are professionals, we must do our job, we must show our best qualities. And I think we did. Definitely, we could play better game, and in halftime I spoke about defense. We defended better in the second half and we got the win. We keep pushing and we are looking forward to the next game.
