Garuba: "We want to achieve an important victory against a very demanding opponent"

Usman Garuba spoke to Realmadrid TV ahead of the game against Valencia Basket, corresponding to gameweek 28 of the Liga Endesa, which will take place at the Roig Arena (Saturday, 9:00 pm CEST; Dazn). Our player analyzed the match: "It is a very demanding game for both teams. We are the best teams of the season. We need to do a good job. Before focusing on the playoffs, we want to secure this victory, which is very important."

"It is another challenge for us. They have the support of their crowd. It's going to be a very demanding game. They are a team that plays very fast in transition. They play with a lot of rhythm, but if we are accurate and control their pace and rebounding, we will secure the victory."

Final stretch of the league
"It’s not good for us to think that we are already in the playoffs. It’s better to focus on the day-to-day to improve and keep achieving our daily goals, which are to improve as a team."

Keys to maintaining the level
"The contribution of everyone. Each member of the squad has had their best and worst moments, but in the end, we have all stood out and put in the necessary effort to be in that first place."

EuroLeague playoffs
"This game is going to demand a lot from us. Securing a victory before each playoff is good for confidence and, above all, looking ahead to Wednesday's game, but right now we must not think about Wednesday. We must focus on tomorrow's game."
