Andrey Kirilenko: CSKA has a great team and we are not afraid of anyone

CSKA Moscow forward Andrey Kirilenko, who turns 31 today, commented on the team’s league victory against Triumf.

«It would be embarrassing for us to fear something. We have a strong side, so we play without fear. Triumf put up a good fight, sometimes forcing us to lose our rhythm, but overall we controlled the game,» the former Utah forward told NTV+ channel.

«The fact that the team plays differently without me is nothing to do with how I play. It’s just a little hard for the guys coming off the bench. They only get 8-10 minutes to prove themselves, which sometimes can be difficult,» said the 31-year-old player.
