Abalde: “We have to approach the game with character”
"Anadolu Efes have a lot of strengths, and it's a difficult game," said the forward.
Alberto Abalde analysed the visit to Anadolu Efes on Realmadrid TV. The Madrid forward said, "The competition is back on. It's been good for those of us who have been able to train and rest, and also for those who have been able to play for their national teams. Now we have a very demanding month of December, and we start with a complicated trip to Istanbul."
"The last game against Hapeol was important for us, not only because we got the win, but also because we looked good. When we're the team we want to be, we are hard to beat. From there, we have to grow. Every game is different, and Efes will play differently against us than in the last few games."
The opponent
"They have a lot of strengths. They have had some major injuries, but they have a complete and deep squad. They have changed coaches, and that also changes what you can expect. We have to focus on our identity and play with character to get the win."
