Chus Mateo: "We have to make good on the work we've done in the Endesa League"
"We're expecting a Valencia team that defends and rebounds well, and who will look to open up our big guys and hurt us," added the coach.
Chus Mateo spoke to Realmadrid TV to assess the Endesa League matchup with Valencia on matchday 30 (Sunday, 6:30 pm CEST): "We have to pull ourselves together, find a positive attitude and make good on the all the work we've done in the Endesa League. We've won 17 in a row, it's no mean feat."
"We're expecting the same Valencia as ever. They'll bring a high tempo, they defend and rebound really well, and who will look to hurt us by opening up our big games. They are a team with immense tactical resources."
La mentalidad del equipo ante la adversidad
"Hemos mejorado mucho en el aspecto defensivo, como equipo, en dureza, competitividad y mentalidad. Es ahora cuando queda poco tiempo y ante un revés que seguramente nos afectará en lo mental tenemos que estar juntos más que nunca y salir adelante de una situación que se puede dar en el deporte profesional. Así que juntos y a por todas".
