WORD TO THE COACH

Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

We have three VTB League games in a row in front of us, and we start from Kalev. They have a new team, that had some players injured but practically all of them are coming back so we expect them to be in full strength. They play aggressive basketball with their point guards creating. We definitely have different level of loading, but now our only thought is to win the game.
