Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the players, we played seriously today, we were the better team. This was especially noticeable given the fact that Enisey did not use Casper Ware. We dominated most of the game, we were able to share the playing time. This is important because we have a big game coming up on Monday [against Zenit] and our young players are not used to play with such a difficult schedule.
