Chus Mateo: “Valencia Basket is playing very well and we've got a tough game coming up'
'We'll have to put in a lot of energy out on the court and look to control the rebounding', explained Musa ahead of the Euroleague game.
Chus Mateo and Musa discussed the Euroleague round 28 clash between Real Madrid and Valencia Basket, to be played at the WiZink Center Thursday, 8:45pm CET. The coach spoke about the opponents: 'We've got a tough game coming up. Valencia Basket always looks to get in our faces with outside shooting from their big players and that's something we have to bear in mind. They've also got high-quality players on the outside who are capable of scoring. We'll have to be very careful with their pick-and-roll, as they generate a lot from them. We have to show respect for a side that's playing very well'.
Musa: 'We've got to be really switched on'
'We'll have to put in a lot of energy out on the court and look to control the rebounding, which is a very important part of the game. If we can control that, we'll have a better chance of getting another win'.
'Valencia Basket are playing well and it won't be an easy game for us. They've got a lot of individual talent and any player can score 20 points. They all defend well and they've got a good coach, so we have to be really switched on and prepared for everything'.
