Chus Mateo: 'We came close but were unable to clinch the win'.
'They scored well-defended shots and were very accurate,' the coach explained after the game against Monaco.
Real Madrid coach Chus Mateo analysed his team's performance against Monaco on the twelfth matchday of the Euroleague: 'We had a tough time; they are very good and they scored well-defended shots and were very accurate. In the first half we were very solid with no turnovers, but in the second half we gave more balls away and some rebounds, which is where they hurt us the most. We came close but were unable to clinch the win. Now it is time to pick ourselves up, we were defeated by a great team but this isn’t over.”
