Harijs Vitolins: "We have to be in the right mindset"

- Seven matches will take place in this tough series. How have you been preparing?

- We only had one day to train. The main thing it to be in the correct mindset.

- Dinamo will have a full stadium behind them. What will be the keys to victory?

- It's always nice when the arena is sold out, we're used to playing in front of a full stadium. If we are to win, we have to stick to the game plan.

- Why is Alexander Dergachyov absent?

- He has a slight concussion, but he should be ready by the time we return home. The rest of the squad is ready, we will rotate the players. Some will be more happy than others.

- Yesterday, Oleg Znarok celebrated his birthday. How did you congratulate him?

- We will try to give him a victory as a present today. We wished him health and success for the new year. We have a lot to do in order to reach our maximum.
