Chus Mateo: “I'm pleased with the win, but now we must think about the EuroLeague playoffs”
“It's important to finish first in the Regular Season and we'll fight until the end,” said Musa after the victory against Monbus Obradoiro.
Chus Mateo and Musa analysed the victory for Real Madrid over Monbus Obradoiro on matchday 31 of the Liga Endesa. The coach spoke after the clash at the WiZink Center: “I'm pleased with the win, it's one more, but now we must think about the EuroLeague playoffs. We have to improve certain things. Sometimes, we can't come out as unfocused as we did. Obradoiro deserve a lot of credit, they kept us out of the game at times.”
“Deck took a heavy knock and was left out of the squad today to see if he recovers. In general, we haven't been too bad at this point, which is a very punishing time. We've played 73 games, including the Dallas one. That's a lot of games over the course of a season and we need to control the workload and make sure there are no injuries, but sometimes it's impossible. Basketball is a physical game with contact.”
Musa: “Now we have to focus on the game against Baskonia”
“Obradoiro are a big team who are fighting for survival. It's difficult to play against them but we were focused for 40 minutes to win. Now we have to focus on the game against Baskonia.”
Three matchdays to go before the end of the Regular Season
“For us it's important to be first. We keep fighting and we'll do it until the end.”
