Dzevad Alihodzic: Cibona came to Moscow in a wrong time
04.03.2003
CSKA rival in the upcoming game Cibona came to Moscow today in the afternoon with a small delay. Croatian club became the first to choose a flight which lands in Domodedovo airport and because of the fact the team spend more than an hour and a half in the traffic jams.

Cibona did not have time to rest. Just in five minutes after the accommodation in Aerostar hotel the team gathered in one of its halls to watch the video on CSKA.
However Cibona center Dzevad Alihodzic – one of two team veterans – agreed to answer several questions.
- CSKA is a game favorite – said the player from Bosnia. – They have a strong line up which shows a good game. CSKA showed in the regular season that they are the real Final Four contenders. From our side we can only show our best in the upcoming game.
- Does Cibona have any particular goal in the Top 16?
- We had a goal to get to the second stage. And right now we don’t have any pressure because of the final result. But of course we will try to win maximum number of the games.
- Cibona lost a game in Adriatic league this weekend. What has happened?
- We played in Zagreb and had to win a game against Siroki Brjeg but the Bosnian team was unstoppable. Now we have to win both games in the regular tournament to get to the Final Four and it is going to be not an easy task. And of course now we have hard time as a team. In this situation with two losses in a row this trip to Moscow came in a wrong time. But I still hope we will show a good game.
