- All the guys fought one hundred percent, even a little more. Not enough time in the ending. It seems that the game was groped, hit, but did not have time. And so ... They changed the course of the match, probably three times, caught up, even stepped forward. But when they led, they could not develop an advantage.
- When the meeting develops in this way, consists of continuous pursuits, is it easier to tune in to the ending?
- In general, I don’t see much difference. We are all and always ready for such moments. We arrived in Athens only for victory and did not prepare for another outcome.
- In the third quarter, when we had a cool segment and Panathinaikos couldn’t get out of the game for a long time, CSKA showed excellent defense. Do you think it was possible to make this segment a little more authentic?
- What can I say now ... Just the limit of fouls among our leading players did not allow us to act more aggressively in defense. Probably because the Greeks were playing at home, neutral whistles sounded in their favor.
