Scariolo: “We’re highly motivated to put on a great display in front of our fans”
“Dubai Basketball are a very complete team offensively, and we’ll need to work hard on defense,” said the coach.
Sergio Scariolo spoke to the press ahead of Real Madrid’s EuroLeague Round 19 clash with Dubai Basketball, set to be played at the Movistar Arena this Friday (8:45 pm CET):
“We’re facing a team loaded with talent, with excellent one-on-one players and a great ability to attack the basket.”
“It’s a tough game given the quality of the opposition, and we’ll definitely need to put in a big defensive effort to keep them under control. It won’t be easy, but at the same time we’re highly motivated to put on a great display in front of our fans and keep picking up wins in the EuroLeague standings.”
“Dubai are a very complete offensive team, with a deep roster and plenty of options. Every opponent is tough, especially at this stage of the season. We love playing in front of our home crowd, and that’s an advantage - but we lose that edge if we think it allows us to put in less effort.”
