Chus Mateo: 'The team did a commendable job'
'We have to take advantage of this good moment and keep going,' Campazzo explained after the win over Armani Milan.
Chus Mateo and Facundo Campazzo analysed Real Madrid's win over EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in the fourth round of the EuroLeague. The coach spoke about the game at the WiZink Center: "They had the rhythm in the first quarter and we had to get it back. We turned the ball over nine times. We started the second quarter slowly, but after the break we defended well and were able to come back. They only scored 29 points in the second half and that's when we got into the rhythm. We started running and defending, playing better and we were able to make a difference that in the end was bigger than this team probably allows a lot of teams to achieve."
"We're learning to play with that kind of disadvantage and we've done a very good job as a team. You can see the unity, the togetherness and whenever a shortcoming is evident, we club together and play as a team. That makes me very happy. In the second half we did a commendable job as a team."
Llull's performance
"He saved us at a very difficult moment. He's a very brave player and he doesn't mind taking responsibility, as he frequently demonstrates. He is an exceptional player and I can say that there is not a single madridista who does not identify with his effort, with the way he transmitted his desire to get back into the game today. He is undoubtedly one of the driving forces behind the team."

Campazzo: "We're on the same wavelength"
"They are a very tough team, dangerous in all positions. They defend hard and are very physical. We were prepared for that. The first half was difficult for us and we ended up tying, even though we all played badly. In the second half we started to defend as hard as we wanted to and to play for whoever was on court. We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We have to take advantage of this good moment and keep going. We're in good shape."
Praise for the team
"There weren't many changes, so the adjustment wasn't that significant. Personally, I really enjoy it, they make your job easier because they are the ones scoring the points. We have to continue with this energy, with this good vibe, because good things are happening."
