Chus Mateo: “We have to have absolutely all our attention focused on this match'
“We have to be focused, patient and not think about anything else which might distract us', explained the coach ahead of the clash with UCAM Murcia.
Real Madrid coach Chus Mateo spoke in the build-up to our team's game against UCAM Murcia on Endesa League matchday 20 6:30pm CET: “It's a court where they always make life hard for you, they bring real intensity and are strong on the paint. They are among the best on the rebound, especially from the offensive side where they love to run behind a turnover and you have to be aware of the defensive balance. They also have good shooters and guys on one-on-ones, who are big and don't make things easy. We have to be ready and seriously focused”.
“We must try and make sure we concentrate because we know it won't be an easy game. We'll have to be patient for the full 40 minutes and not think about other things that could distract us. It's a very important game for us and we have to have absolutely all our attention focused on it”.
Only one game this week
“We prepare for every game pretty much in the same way, but the dynamics have been slightly different in training. We have been able to train more often due to the postponed game and we're keen to get back to competitive action because such a long week without playing is a bit strange".
