Chus Mateo: “This is an important game for our preparations”
“Real Madrid-Monaco will be a big game in the EuroLeague," underlined the coach.
Chus Mateo talked to the club's official media channels to discuss the second pre-season game between Real Madrid and Monaco (Wednesday, 8pm; Realmadrid TV): "It's an attractive match-up for those who want to watch Real Madrid and Monaco. It'll be an important game in the Euroleague this year."
"It's a clash that will help us to continue improving and maintain our ambitions to do good things. If we continue to train well, we'll soon be playing well. I'm happy that people understand we have to take it one day at a time and not go crazy about winning or losing."
Good management
"This match is important for our preparations. We're moving in the right direction, but we still need to get up to speed. I'm happy with the work the players have done. In both matches and in training, we must continue to make progress".
New faces
"Andrés Feliz, Ibaka and Rathan-Mayes have all settled in really well. They're clear about what we expect of them and what this club demands. We'll be without Llull for this game due to some EuroLeague commitments, and Garuba is still recovering from injury."
