Chus Mateo: "We fought until the end"
"We had a bad spell in the third quarter, but we never give up," explained the coach.
Chus Mateo analysed the fourth game between Real Madrid and Olympiacos at the Movistar Arena. The coach said: "We had a bad spell in the third quarter that made us lose faith for a while, but we never give up. We fought until the end and tried to get there. In fact, we had that final shot to win the game, but we didn't get it. I feel sorry for the fans because they give their all cheering us on, and for my players, who fought and battled. It wasn't to be. That's basketball."
"I have no complaints whatsoever. As a coach, you have to make certain changes that have obviously disrupted our start to the regular season, but the DNA and personality of this team mean that we fight until the end. We almost got it because we almost took the series to Athens with that last shot. We shot to win, and we wanted to win. Abalde is a great professional who gives his all every day and deserved to make that shot. All the credit goes to this team that always fights to please its fans."
