Chus Mateo: "We still believed we could win even when we were 16 down"
"It's very difficult to achieve 26 wins in the Regular League, but now we are focused on the playoffs," added the coach.
Chus Mateo appeared in the WiZink Center press room to review Real Madrid's victory over Red Star. The coach said: "We still believed we could win even when we were 16 down and our strong competitive spirit allowed us to get back into the game at a key moment. It wasn't our best start, but after the third quarter we fought very well and found a better way to play. Defending and rebounding better. It was a very good game for the fans because they saw some real mettle from both teams on court."
"I'm pleased with the attitude that my players showed and how much the fans enjoyed it. I don't think too much about records. It's true that it's very difficult to achieve 26 wins in the Regular League, but now we're focused on the playoffs. The important thing is to be ready at this moment."
