Chus Mateo: “We put in a complete performance'
“Everyone scored points or contributed to the team,' underlined the coach following the win over Casademont Zaragoza.
Real Madrid coach Chus Mateo spoke to the media at the WiZink Center following the team's win over Casademont Zaragoza in their opening league game: “It was a really complete performance, at the back and up top. We were focused from the off, just as we wanted to be, shackling a team that has the ability to score lots of points, and we were very switched on in one-on-one situations from minute one.'
“It was a really good display overall, everyone did their bit in defense and that allowed everyone to feel involved in the game. I think we started very strongly. They are tough opponents, we had to be well prepared to make sure they didn't spring a surprise against us at home.'
23 assists
“Certain mechanisms and set plays from last year really helped us. We kept the same spine of the team and didn't have to start from scratch with new players this season. Everyone knew what we are playing for and that's why everyone scored points or contributed.'
