Campazzo: "We worked hard and gave madridismo the first title of the season"
"We played two very solid games where the team showed character," said captain Sergio Llull.
Campazzo, Llull and Deck spoke on Realmadrid TV after the team's victory in the EuroLeague Super Cup final against Olympiacos. The Argentine point guard said: “I feel happy. Every title is worth celebrating. This is the first official title of the season, so we have to value and honor it. The teams that played in this Super Cup surely wanted to win it just like we did. We showed a good level of basketball and played to win it. I'm happy because the group deserves it. We worked hard and we were able to give madridismo the first title of the season.”
“It's always good to start the season on the right foot, especially by defeating a rival as prestigious as Olympiacos. Even though it’s not the best basketball since we are at the beginning of the season, we played very well. In difficult moments, we played calmly and with good defense. I’m happy because we managed to win a title. Hopefully, this gives us the confidence we need to face the season.”
Llull: “The team has shown character”
“We are happy, the team has done a great job. Even though it’s the first official tournament, almost like preseason, the goal is always to try and win. We played two very solid games where the team demonstrated character, especially in those tight finishes. We’re happy with the victory.”
“It’s an honor to win 30 titles with Real Madrid. It’s thanks to Real Madrid, which has allowed me to wear this jersey for so many years. I have tried to give my best every single year. Those are individual stats, but what’s important is that we are taking the cup back to Madrid, the first European Super Cup, and we are very happy.”
Motivation
“It’s an extra motivation to keep working hard. The team is in a very good dynamic in terms of work. There are still three important titles left this season, and we will try to fight for them as well.”
Deck: "This club is used to lifting titles"
"We are happy to start the season with a title against a very good team. It was a tough final; we knew it would be, but fortunately, it went our way, so I’m super happy.”
“It’s always a very good thing to start the season with a title. This club is used to lifting titles. Starting this way will give us a boost to keep working and improving.”
Is it more special because it’s the first in history?
“Yes, without a doubt, it’s a bit more special to start this great tournament, which has been organized with top-level teams, in this way. Now it’s time to rest and enjoy.”
