One day before the principal game we told to the representatives of both clubs.
The guard of CSKA Theodoros Papaloukas:
Is tomorrow game just a usual game of Russian championship for you or something more?
The game against Dynamo will become one really traditional Moscow derby. Dynamo has very good players and they says they are going to win Russian title. It is just a beginning of the season and it is too early to speak about it. But tomorrow we will play against one very tough opponent and we need to show realy good basketball to win.
What can you say about the roster of the opponent?
This season Dynamo has a very good roster with strong American and European players. But we also have very good players. I think that tomorrow game is going to be very interesting. All teams are playing against CSKA with a very high motivation.
Are you satisfy with you game on the start of the season?
I always entering the court only for the win. I am in good conditions now but I need to continue my work to help my team.
What do you need to win tomorrow?
We must show our game. We are playing at home so we need to control the game from the early beginning and do not let Dynamo to get the initiative.
It was more difficult to talk to somebody from Dynamo. After the practice they went to the bus too fast. Only Mirsad Turkcan has stay for a while to greet CSKA workers and answer our questions:
What does tomorrow game mean for you?
We play two games every week and I could say that that tomorrow it will be only a usual game of the tour. But it is not true. I will play against the team where I spent two great seasons. I am very excited to play here again.
How Dynamo can beat CSKA tomorrow?
Everybody knows tough roster of CSKA. We need to show really good team basketball. We just need to show our game.
