Laso: 'We'll have to be at our best against Valencia Basket'
'It'll be a tough game against opponents who are performing very well', declared the coach.
Pablo Laso spoke in the build-up to the Endesa League Matchweek 21 contest between Real Madrid and Valencia Basket Sunday, 6:30pm CET and had the following to say: “It's a tough game for us when you consider the quality of the opposition. We're talking about a Valencia Basket team that is performing really well. They’re very physical right throughout the court and have a lot of depth in terms of their inside game. They've suffered with injuries, but they've now welcomed players back and are competing very well. It’ll be a tough game, we're playing at home and we'll have to be at our best if we’re to win the match. If we fail to perform to our best, it’ll be a very tough game”.
“Our fans are extremely important to us. The reaction we produced the other day against Olympiacos was a little bit down to everyone. Firstly, the team and then the fans. We need that drive that the fans give us. People need to realise that we’re gradually returning to normality in the world of sport. The team feels comfortable playing at home. I think that that's something we have to show the fans and they have to help us to produce our best”.
