Confidence, absolute confidence

The game against Dynamo would become the first for CSKA after a loss to Spartak from St.Petersburg. We decided to ask the head coach of the team Ettore Messina about how the team’s doing.

What would be the hardest task for the team in the upcoming game?
- First of all we have to come back from the loss in St.Petersburg. We have to be absolutely confident. But it is going to be difficult.
What can you say about the rival?
- Dynamo is the team with a lot of shooters. Besides McCarty, Keiru and Ivanov they have also tall players who can shoot from the outside. It is extremely hard to play against them especially when they have both Askrabic and Veremeenko on the court.
Are you satisfied with the effort CSKA players put on the practices after the loss?
- I was satisfied with the mood and the effort of the guys even before the loss. But now they are putting even more effort. And it is good for the team.
What can you say about the mood of the team?
- It is normal. Of course such a loss is a thing that is rather hard to accept. But we have to refocus and to understand why it has happened and to learn on our mistakes.
