Chus Mateo and Campazzo spoke to the club's official media channels ahead of Real Madrid's League opener, which sees them take on Casademont Zaragoza at the WiZink Center 12:30pm CEST. The coach explained: “We can't wait to play in front of our fans again and especially to get started in the league. We've already been back in competitive action and we'll try to keep improving, showing patience and consistency.'
“We have to be very meticulous. We've started strongly with the Super Cup win, confidence is high, but the League is hugely competitive. Our opponents will always make life difficult for us, they always want to beat Real Madrid; and they give it their all to do just that. We'll try to make sure our guys are ready for it and are focused on what is a very tough fixture against Zaragoza, they are always a very difficult opponent. I hope we are mature enough to realise that we can't take it easy.'
Busy schedule
“We work from day to day. We have to train well and make sure we don't waste a second, every little helps. The same goes for the matches, understanding that we are facing very dangerous teams, especially now in the League. The squads have strengthened and Zaragoza has built a really interesting team loaded with talent. The club deserves all our respect because they always make life hard for us.'
Importance of the fans
“Of course, we're playing for them. We want to make them happy and proud of watching us at the WiZink Center. Wherever we are, we feel them right behind us. The Super Cup is for them, I hope they enjoy it and feel part of it, because they really are. We'll celebrate the title tomorrow, but we have to beat Zaragoza as well.”

Campazzo: “Zaragoza have some really dangerous players”
“I'm buzzing, I can't wait for the game to start. I couldn't wait to get back home and be at the WiZink with our fans. They show me so much love on social media. I can't wait for hte game.'
“We have to take it one step at a time, go game by game. Good things will come if we build a playing style and a winning mentality. We always have to fight for every trophy and we have a very complete side, with lots of weapons in both offense and defense.'
The opposition
“Zaragoza have dangerous players with lots of points in them. They allow you lots of three-point shots in defense and that's where we'll have the tools to punish them. They go after the offensive rebound, they close it out well and have players who can make a difference. If we start strongly, stay focused and make few mistakes, we have a good chance of winning the game.'
Support from the fans
“We're fighting to win trophies and the fans play a vital role for us. They are our extra boost in every game, both the ones who travelled to Murcia and those who got behind us on TV. Sharing the Super Cup with them is hugely important to us.'
