CSKA forward Nikita Kurbanov spoke about the changes that occurred in the team after the change in head coach.
Since April 15, the army club has been headed by Greek specialist Andreas Pistiolis, he replaced Macedonian Emil Rajkovic. CSKA beat Yenisei (96:68) in the opening game of the quarterfinals of the VTB United League playoff finals.
— What changed with the arrival of the new head coach just before the start of the playoffs? The most important thing is that there really are changes. Because when in such situations nothing changes at all, it’s not very good.
At the moment we see that the changes are bringing results. We’ve done a good job. I don’t want to go into details about what, how and where exactly has changed, but I think everyone is happy now. We will try to maintain the same spirit with which we entered the first playoff match and move on from game to game,” Legalbet quotes Kurbanov as saying.
The second match of the quarterfinal series CSKA – Enisey will take place on April 24 in Moscow.
