Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to Zenit on a well-deserved victory, they played better today, they shot with a higher percentage. We remember that the period of preparation for the season continues, it was important for us to give playing time to Milutinov and Davidovac, who joined the team just before the trip here, they had only one practice and still practically do not know our offense. It is also important to give Shved a chance to find a rhythm, he missed a long period due to injury and had only six or seven practices with the team. We will analyze the mistakes and continue the work.
