Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to Zenit on the victory. It was a tough game. We got off to a great start, especially on offense, but in the second quarter we missed some open shots and free throws and lost our confidence. In general, we lost this game on defense. Even though we made a comeback, the opponents controlled the game. However, we know how to play in St. Petersburg. We expect another difficult game, we will prepare for it.
Совершенно с Вами согласны - в третьей четверти было слишком очевидно то, от чего долго будет стыдно и больно.
Смотреть будем, но резко осуждаю всю стаю в синих костюмах за сегодня.
