Scariolo: “We know we need to make another effort”
“We are still in an ideal position to face the final stretch of the regular season, but every game weighs more now,” added our coach.
Sergio Scariolo spoke with Realmadrid TV and analyzed the EuroLeague match against Dubai Basketball (Thursday, 7:00 pm CEST; #Vamos): “We know we need to make another effort. Yesterday, we performed at a very high level, not only entering the game with very clear ideas but also consistently responding to the rival's surges in a truly challenging environment. We reached the end basically with the game in hand, but it slipped away, and this feeling of frustration must be converted into positive energy and motivation, a desire to compete.”
Standings
"We are still in an ideal position to face the final stretch of the regular season, but it’s true that every game now carries more weight, and all of them are important, each holding a significant impact in the battle for the top positions.”
Absences
“It’s a different experience. A long trip after an extremely tough game, without two very important players like Maledon and Deck. Obviously, we missed them yesterday in Athens, but we’re eager to recover as much as possible physically and mentally, with our focus already on the next opponent.”
Dubai Basketball
"It’s probably one of the three or four teams with the most talent in scoring ability, featuring many EuroLeague players, and has even managed to beat top-level opponents such as Fenerbahçe, Olympiacos, and others. They come off playing a fantastic game the other day, dominating from start to finish. It’s true they won in overtime, but always with control.”
