Chus Mateo: “We've done a good job”
“It wasn't an eay game as we'd played 48 hours before in the EuroLeague', said the coach after beating Valencia Basket.
Real Madrid coach Chus Mateo spoke about Real Madrid's win over Valencia Basket in round 10 the Endesa League: "We defended well, we're improving and everyone is understanding what we're trying to do in defence. When we defend together on the defensive rebound, or when the opponent exhausts possession, it's a credit to our good work. When we work hard we're good, and if we don't work hard the following day, we're not good".
"When you always win, you can get distracted and not just because of things happening outside. You think you're better than you are. We've achieved nothing, we've in the positions we want to be in. Althoughwe'll have some bad days, we'll try to stay on track. The important thing for us is to be at the top in both competitions as we look to win the titles".
The key
"In the third period we defended well, rebounded better and played with intensity. The Euroleague wears you and we played less than 48 hours ago. We did well".
Musa
"He's doing well and improving on defence. We don't need to give out individual medals, it's the team that wins and loses. We haven't congratulated him for his three-pointers, we know that's easy for him and we know he works hard".
