Chus Mateo: “We're going to have to fight for every point against UCAM Murcia”
“It's going to be a hard-fought game right to the end and we shouldn't be misled by our current good form,” said the Real Madrid coach.
Chus Mateo spoke ahead of the Liga Endesa matchday five clash against UCAM Murcia at the WiZink Center Sunday, 12.30pm CET. The coach had the following to say: “Murcia have been playing at a very high level and they know how they want to play. They're one of the best defensive teams in the league. They are very resourceful offensively and have high performing players. Birgander and Ennis have adapted very well - they both usually cause problems for the defence because they're good one-on-one players.”
“We have to be prepared for the type of game we face because UCAM will make things difficult for us. They're a team that pushes their opponents to the limit because of their aggressive defence. It's going to be a hard-fought game right to the end and we're going to have to fight for every point. We shouldn't be misled by our current good form.”
Demanding fixture schedule
“Now we have a hectic schedule of matches. We have to go into the next training session and match and think in the short term. What's to come is what's important.”
