Chus Mateo: "This team fights, battles and never gives up”
"I’m very happy because we’re among the top four in Europe and LaLiga," said the coach.
Chus Mateo analysed Real Madrid's victory at the Gran Canaria Arena, which takes our team into the LaLiga semi-final: ‘We've done something very creditable to be in the top four in this LaLiga, which is very tough. Winning here, in Gran Canaria, is very difficult because they play very good basketball. I said it the other day when we won by 35 points. I'm very happy because we're in the top four not only in Spain, but also in Europe. This team fights, battles and never gives up. That's what means the most to me, regardless of the fact that today we suffered a little more. You win games by suffering and you have to know how to suffer."
"It's certainly the best way to go to Berlin, although it would've been better to be able to take Deck, and it's a big shame he won't be there. We're going to do everything in our power to make our fans happy, to give our all in Berlin and to show our appreciation for Deck, who led us to the moment which we are currently experiencing."
