Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

We participate in celebratory games: here in Thessaloniki because of PAOK jubilee, then in Athens we will honor the great Dimitris Diamantidis. We should not forget that now we have an official year of Russian-Greek friendship. The main thing is that we continue our preseason camp. Milos and Nando played for us for the first time. Initially we did not plan to use them much but in the end they both exceeded 20-minute limit. I saw a lot of thing that I wanted to see. We use short rotation because of absences of injured and National Team players. I was happy to see Artem Vostrikov performance tonight. This is how the juniors should approach the game, to try to take what they can. And Artem showed courage and enthusiasm.
