Chus Mateo: “We played well and with intensity”
“It was nice to see how the team managed to link up and find open shots”, said the Real Madrid coach.
Chus Mateo analysed Real Madrid’s EuroLeague victory against Crvena Zvezda at the WiZink Center. The madridista had the following to say: “We played well and with intensity in three of the four quarters. In the second, our intensity dropped a bit and we hesitated a little. It was nice to see how the team managed to link up and find open shots. Crvena Zvezda only scored easily in one quarter. In the other three quarters we defended well”.
'We played well in the first quarter but then we struggled, it's all about scoring, scoring and scoring, it's a long-distance rally. Sometimes we try to do difficult things to be pleasing and basketball is much simpler. We’re not thinking about Virtus Bologna at the moment. We have a very tough game against Baskonia in the Liga Endesa in between and we have to focus on that and that's all”.
