Luwawu-Cabarrot: “I’m in my prime years, and that’s what I’ll bring to Real Madrid"

Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot is a new Real Madrid player. The forward gave his first interview to Realmadrid TV: “I chose Real Madrid because it is one of the biggest clubs in the world, if not the biggest. I wanted to stay in Spain, and I think this is the best option for me. I have close friends who have played here, and they told me I didn't have to think about it much. Real Madrid was the best choice for me, and that’s basically why I chose it.”

“Being here means a lot. This club has won many things. I’m very excited to be here, to be part of this family, and I hope to win as much as possible.”

What he brings
“I would say that, now that I’m 31 years old, I’ve reached this point where experience and skill, combined with my abilities, are at their perfect peak. I’m in my prime, and that’s what I’m going to bring to Real Madrid: physical, technical, and shooting skills, as well as my experience. And I’ve also reached this point in my career where I want to win. And my heart—that’s what I’m bringing.”

Shared ambition
“I want to win as much as possible. This club wants to win, and I want to win too. I’d say my personal goals align with the team’s, and what I want is to win as much as possible.”

A unique team
“There’s a winning atmosphere here that, since I came to Europe, I haven’t experienced. I want to learn from the best and from people who have won. So, I didn’t hesitate to come here. I want to learn from those who have already won before.”

Working with Pedro Martínez
“I’m really looking forward to it. He’s the only one who has won the coach of the year award in the League and in the EuroLeague. The players who play for him seem to enjoy it and are winning. He’s having success. I liked the way he coached Valencia Basket last year, and I’m very excited to learn from him.”

His moment
“I think it’s the perfect time to combine everything I have: experience with the national team, in EuroBasket, the Olympic Games… There are so many things I’ve experienced. Along with my physical skills, I’m in my prime, in my perfect moment.”

The Movistar Arena
“It’s going to be a great experience to meet the fans at the first game. I can’t wait any longer.”

Message to madridistas
“Hello everyone, I’m Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot, and I’m very excited to be here. I can’t wait to meet you all. I’m here to win. I’ll give it my all, from the heart. I’m one hundred percent committed, and I can’t wait to meet you all.”
