Chus Mateo: "We're playing very well at the moment"
"Against Granada, we need to know how to manage the tempo of the game and not allow too many turnovers," he explained on Realmadrid TV.
Chus Mateo spoke on Realmadrid TV ahead of the Coviran Granada-Real Madrid Liga game 14 (Wednesday, 8:30pm CET). The coach said: "We go into the game with the peace of mind of being qualified for the Copa del Rey but with the aim of trying to continue with the results we've been getting lately. We're aware that we'll be up against a very competitive Granada at home."
"It will be a difficult game at a difficult stadium, where the crowd is very vocal and gets behind the team. They've won two games at home and two away, but there's always an atmosphere there and against Real Madrid all their opponents are at their best. They'll be looking to play a great game. We're expecting the best Granada and we'll have to respect them as much as possible."
Keys
"We have to know how to manage the tempo of the game properly and not lose too much possession. It's important to attack with criteria and take good shots. We have to play with discipline. It's easier to build on victory. We're still struggling to find a style and a way to play this year with more confidence."
Positive dynamic
"We have to extend this dynamic and take advantage of playing so many games. We're in a very good rhythm of play. With so many games it's difficult to keep up the level playing every other day. We have many more ahead of us this month and we have to think about our opponents separately."
