Oleg Kiselev: 'I want to thank the fans for the exceptional turnout today.'

The head coach of «Astana,» Oleg Kiselev, recapped the match against CSKA.

«It's challenging to comment on such games. First and foremost, I would like to thank the fans for their record attendance today. Everyone expected a tough competition, but it didn't happen today. Perhaps it's due to our tight schedule – CSKA had more time to prepare – but that's certainly not an excuse. In my opinion, today, a significant part of the team was absent on the court, and CSKA outplayed us in all aspects due to this. A certain number of team members were not ready for this game. We will look into this further. 

We don't have much time – three days, and we play in Minsk, which is a crucial game for us. Therefore, we will try to swiftly analyze this defeat and focus on «MINSK.»
