Laso: “We're up against a team that's competing really well”
'Manresa is aggressive, both in defense and offense, and is very well drilled', declared the Real Madrid coach.
Pablo Laso spoke to the media in the build-up to Sunday’s Endesa League Round 25 match-up against Baxi Manresa at the WiZink Center 12:30pm and the madridista coach previewed the match in the following terms: “We're up against the team that’s competing and playing very well in the league. They’re athletic and quick. What's more, they’re aggressive, both in attack and defense and many of their statistics show just what they're capable of. They’ve established some very clear situations in attack with good shooters”.
“Moneke is excelling in the number-four role, but is capable of opening up too. They also display particular characteristics with Dani Pérez and Vaulet. Bako and Sima are performing well in their inside game. I'm not surprised that they're performing as well as they have been. They’re a very well-drilled team”.
Absentees
“We’re definitely without Alocén, Causeur and Taylor. There are question marks over Abalde, Hanga and choosing two of the Americans. We may well have to draft in a youngster like Sediq. We've had a tough week with illness and minor knocks, but I see the team as being capable of making up for the players who are out”.
