Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

First of all, congratulations to the players, we had progress in certain areas. Defensively we were much better than in the last game that we played in St.Pete, we did not allow them to run in the open court which was the main issue over there, their hustle points and open court points. In the final game of the tournament in St.Pete they scored 30 points in this two areas. Today we were much better, we went into the game with hustle mentality. Obviously, this is a preseason game, we did not shoot the ball well, we had discomfort in executing some plays, but defensively Zenit is a tough team to play against. Overall it was a good game for us for the current period. We were missing Dani Hackett, they were missing Napier. With the loading we have, considering the fact that Toko just came today, Will also came last night after the meetings that they had. We are trying to find time. We would like to have a day with more than 24 hours, but it’s impossible.

Мне кажется,или у ЦСКА форма не меняется уже несколько сезонов?Или проблемы с фантазией у дизайнеров?)))
