It's hard to be happy
Our team took a routine victory in Astana, but the game left an unpleasant aftertaste due to a couple of injuries...

Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
Obviously there is nothing special to say about the game, the difference in the level of the teams was huge. I would only like to say that Astana is a historical part of the VTB League, I hope the club will manage to get support from private companies or other assistance, and the situation will change for the better for them. It was not difficult to play after the break, although we faced certain challenges. I think that we had a good rhythm for most of the game.
