Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:
First of all, congratulations to Enisey on a great start to the season and excellent results. This year the team has a good coach, a good set of players, so Krasnoyarsk is a dangerous opponent. It turned out to be a difficult game, also because we are on the road for a long time, we flew here straight from Astana. We slept in the first half, but woke up in the third quarter, caught up with the opponent and created a small lead. An important victory, and another important game awaits us ahead, against Zenit.
