Laso: “The derby games against Fuenlabrada have something special about them”
“It's going to be a fantastic spectacle and we'll have to be at 100%”, added Deck.
Pablo Laso assessed the upcoming matchday 26 clash with Fuenlabrada in the league Sunday, 12:30pm CET: “Every derby has that something. In the end, taking on Fuenlabrada and Estudiantes, who are the teams we've played against more than any other, has something special about it. Fuenlabrada are a team who compete hard, they're physical and aggressive and they probably let a few games go where had they won them, they'd be right in the playoff mix'.
“We were really made to work for our win there, we did a lot right, we dominated the scoring but they came back… Fuenlabrada are a team who fight to the end and we needed that decisive three-pointer to win it. I wouldn't like to see the same type of game but the result would suit me”.
Assessment
“It's been a strange week. Firstly because we have played two fantastic games, knowing how tough these away games are in the Euroleague schedule. Two teams fighting for playoff places, our injuries, the journey, having to play on Sunday… The team has responded really well and I'm personally very pleased'.

“We have also had the positive of sealing a place among the top four. Causeur and Taylor both trained normally today and I'll be counting on them tomorrow”.
