Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Congratulations to Zenit on the victory, today they were a better team. There was a great atmosphere in the gym. We just have to analyze our mistakes and play better. If we talk about the reasons for the defeat, not everything is described by statistics. Here we can talk about strategy, spacing, guarding, defensive matchups. We shot well from a distance, but the opponents shot even better. They made 60% of field goals, and we made only 40%.
