Scariolo: “It's a very important victory after another very tough game”
“Ricky Rubio takes Joventut to another level, which is why winning here is beyond the reach of many teams,” added the coach after the victory in Badalona.
Sergio Scariolo analysed Real Madrid’s victory away against Joventut de Badalona, on matchday 6 of the Liga ACB: “Real Madrid and Joventut deserve a lot of credit, as they played a match that wasn't always pretty but was highly competitive. It's a very important victory, especially after playing another very tough EuroLeague match less than 48 hours ago.”
“Ricky Rubio has taken Joventut, who were already performing well, to a whole new level nationally and internationally. That's why winning here is not within the reach of many teams.”
Len
“We knew this for a long time, and when we were able to bring him in, the club made a very wise decision. In such an intense season, with so many matches and so much wear and tear on the players, Tavares is a crucial player for us and needs to catch his breath. Garuba has done very well during this period, as he did today, especially in the first half, but Len's physical stature, as well as his experience, his poise on the court and his reading of the game are excellent.”
