Chus Mateo: “We put on a composed performance”
“Causeur's precision put us on top”, said the coach after the victory over Baxi Manresa.
Chus Mateo analysed his side’s victory over Baxi Manresa on matchday 11 of the Liga Endesa. The coach had the following to say on his team’s display: “We put on an intelligent and composed performance, backed up by a good defence. We started by defending well and, although they did us some damage, we managed to get to half-time with a decent lead".
"Causeur's precision put us on top and, even though it looked like the game was settled, we remained vigilant. It's always tough to stay focused when you have a big lead. We played well again for three quarters against a team that has good shooters".
Potential returns
"Hanga and Rudy are still unavailable, they’ll probably be ready to come back after the Tenerife game. Deck has a strained quadriceps and is in pain after a heavy blow against Fenerbahce. We’ll see how he progresses each day because we don't want to take any risks. We rested Tavares as a precaution. We were able to rest him, and that was important".
