CSKA will play with its full power
Dusan Ivkovic, Head coach:
Maybe it looked questionable that as the game is not important for the competition to play with all team or leave some players to rest. The reason is that this weekend we played two quarterfinal games in Russian playoffs. And it totals four games in seven days. But our club takes decision to go to Zagreb with all team, all players. We respect Euroleague much and we want to play serious until the last moment. We are also respectful to the team of Cibona, it is a very good and talented team. They played in Moscow very well. But we are optimistic about the game in Croatia.

Victor Khryapa, Forward:
Going to Zagreb the team remembers that the game with Cibona in Moscow was rather tough. And this away game is special for us. We would like to prove that we are stronger and think only about winning it. Though it is like in all other games. Do not think that as we have already qualified to Final Four we are going to play relaxed.
