Chus Mateo: “Breogán are a competitive team and never give up on a game”
“They always make life hard for us because they are very physical and don't give you an inch in the paint,” added the Real Madrid coach.
Chus Mateo spoke to Realmadrid TV about the Endesa League matchday 12 meeting between Real Madrid and Río Breogán at the WiZink Center: “The game against Fenerbahçe really took it out of us physically and mentally. We're closing out the week against Breogán, a team who always make life hard for us. They play some great basketball, are very physical and don't give you an inch in the paint. They're a competitive team and never give up on a game. Now they're competing in Europe as well and they play with real energy, regardless of how well they're shooting. I'm sure they will make us uncomfortable."
“I'm pleased because we're working really well on a daily basis. We're clear about our goals, the EuroLeague and the Endesa League and we know what we're looking to do. The important thing is to ensure we are well placed in both. The key is to finish high up in the table in order to take the benefits that brings in the long-term, like playing any decider at home. We have to take first place with the importance it deserves but of course, winning games always helps boost the team's confidence."
