Jurij Gladyr"This is not a weak team. A lot of people think it was an easy win for us in Ankara and that there will be a repeat of the entertainment on Wednesday. But we don't act that way. They can always improve their game, especially their leader who didn't play at his level in that first game. We all know what Nimir can present on the court. That is why I am asking for vigilance. We all have to do our part on the court."

Stephen Boyer"Historic moment for the club, for many players and also for the staff. But we have to start this game like it's a "normal" game. We have to be focus and don’t think that we won already in Ankara. It is gonna be a different game. And we have to push and be ready from the beginning of the game” .
