Chus Mateo: "It's been a very good year and I hope we can continue to make people happy"
"We're happy about the win and also because of the atmosphere in the pavilion," he added after the win against Valencia Basket.
Chus Mateo assessed the Real Madrid win over Valencia Basket in the last game of the year: "We were worried about this game because they're eager to get into the Copa as a top seed, but we're happy to win and for the atmosphere in the pavilion. We're pleased with the win."
"They have players with a lot of skill who are capable of turning a game on its head. We came out very well on court, although we struggled to execute the game the way we wanted to. Although we had nine turnovers at half-time, we improved in that area and ended up attacking with precision and hitting sixty percent of our two-pointers."
