Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:

We are not the favorites of this tournament, because we still lack players. Some are sick, some has just recently joined the team. CSKA played together today. The players showed very good team chemistry. If someone made mistakes, I can not blame him separately. In most cases, these mistakes were team mistakes.
