Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach: Last season, Bayern did not get into the playoffs, losing in overtime the last match of the regular season. The team begins the new season with the same ambitions, and reinforces them with a solid game in the first meetings. They have a talented team, so expect a tough match. Need to rehabilitate after an unsuccessful performance against the “Zenith” in the VTB League.
Johannes Vogtmann, CSKA forward: We need to find our rhythm, our identity and continue to move forward. It will be a good game for us, in it we can see where we are, what needs to be added. Bayern are an excellent team, they are already in rhythm, show good defense, try to score light points in counterattacks. Expect to see this in the game.
After meeting with Zenit, the army team managed to conduct two training sessions on the Megasport parquet. Red-blue again will not help Costa Kufos, which continues to recover from an injury. Bavaria has no rookie TJ Bray, who underwent knee surgery in the preseason. A curious fact: both previous meetings of CSKA and Bavaria in Moscow ended with the same score 77-70.
