Chus Mateo: 'You have to put on a disciplined showing to win in Zaragoza'
“We know it won't be easy to get the win there because they always make life hard for us”, commented the coach.
Chus Mateo spoke to Realmadrid TV on the day ahead of the clash with Casademont Zaragoza on Endesa League matchday seven Sunday, 6:00pm CET: “We have to be disciplined from the off and forget about how the table looks. We must focus solely on the work we've been doing on a daily basis and how to approach it there against a team who want to deliver a response. We have to show focus from the off, maintain our concentration throughout the game and understand it won't be easy to beat Zaragoza on their home turf where they always make life hard for us. We have to take the game one minute at a time and do things right”.
“It's hugely important we know how to do things correctly on a daily basis here at Real Madrid, but especially when things don't go right, to stick together and dig in. The key is not to be complacent, know we have the talent but that things are achieved through hard work, solid defense and togetherness. That's what we try and get across to make sure all the pieces fit together and everyone knows there are no individuals here. We win and lose together".
