Dimitris Itoudis: Nobody comes here for third place, but it is a part of our obligation

Cska head coach Dimitris Itoudis talked about the next match against Olimpia Milano in Cologne: «We need to finish the season strong and we will try to come around through practice, through meditation, through talks, meetings. Nobody comes here for third place, all four teams are targeting and wishing for the championship game».

«But it is a part of our obligation to play for the third place. So we will try to extend our rotation a little bit, stay healthy and look forward towards the VTB league. Milan deserves all the credit for this season, whatever they did as a group and individuals. Some of them have been a significant part of CSKA history. Both teams will have to play for our pride, and I hope we are going to stay healthy and compete at the highest level».
