Fotis Katsikaris: I expect CSKA to react very strong
Dynamo St.Petersburg spent an evening practice at USK CSKA. After it we asked the coach of the team Fotis Katsikaris to make some pre-game comments.

- I believe it is going to be a lot more difficult to play after CSKA lost to Spartak. They are a big and a very strong team with a lot of experienced players and I expect them to react very strong. Anyhow for us it is important to improve game by game and not to watch what CSKA is doing. I think the most important to make steps forward, to correct some parts of the game.

Can you specify what parts of the game you mean?

- We have some young players. I believe in them but they have to adopt my philosophy and to understand what I ask from them.

Do you expect the game to be different from what there was in the Kondrashin and Belov Cup Finals?

- Yes, of course. There was a friendly game that had almost no cost. But it was a good test for us. It showed how we can play on the highest level. We spend a very strong second half. And I told my players that this time I expect them to play in the way more than 20 minutes. That would be just that step forward I told you about before.
