Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team. Our players showed effort and professionalism, they were playing on the level of the task set, they were pushing for all 40 minutes. I insisted on aggressive defense against Parma’s leaders, especially Roberson and Allen, and we made a good job with this. From the start, the players who were on the floor showed that there is no other option than our win.
