Chus Mateo: "We controlled the game once we went ahead"
"We've got our good feelings and rhythm back" said Musa.
Chus Mateo and Musa reflected on Real Madrid's round 20 Euroleague victory against Zalgiris: “After the first quarter, we played very well in defense. We knew how to control the game and it was all about defending the three-pointer. Zalgiris have great defensive players. Our three-pointers gave us life and once we took the lead, we controlled the game”.
“The most important thing is to recover as soon as possible and be ready for the next game. Tonight we will celebrate the victory, but tomorrow we have to get back to work. Our legs are sore after tonight’s efforts but we have to keep going.”
Musa: “This team is made for great things”.
“I am always very inspired when I visit Kaunas and the whole team played really well. I am happy for the victory. We have got our rhythm and our feeling back”.
“We defended strongly, shutting down the rebound really well. It's getting harder and harder to beat Euroleague teams. Our schedule is crazy and we have a lot of games, but we are professionals and this is what we have to do. This team is made for big things and we want to keep driving forward.”
