Chus Mateo: “Valencia Basket will make life hard for us"
“This is a beautiful period for everyone and I hope loads of people will come down because they enjoy watching us play," he added.
Chus Mateo assessed the final game of the year, which sees the League leaders take on Valencia Basket: “We're up against a team who sit in third place and play some great basketball, they're very physical. They have experienced players and they always make life hard for us. They have real power inside and play well around the hoop. They're a team who punish your turnovers and have players at the very top level."
“We'll do all we can to keep playing well and picking up wins and respecting the work we do. We have to be better in offense than last time, use the space well and move the ball nicely. We're facing one of the tightest defenses in the League and the EuroLeague. They are quality opposition."
Final game of 2023
“This is a beautiful period for everyone and I hope loads of people will come down because they enjoy watching us play. It's a tough schedule. Tomorrow will be our 36th game of the season, counting the Dallas match, and there are several ACB teams who don't play in Europe and won't make that number in the whole season. We have to be prepared both physically and mentally."
