Scariolo: “It was important to regain our concentration against a competitive team”

Sergio Scariolo analysed Real Madrid's victory over Coviran Granada in the league matchday eight.
The coach said after the game: “It's an important win. It's never easy to win away from home in a league as competitive as the ACB and coming off a big effort less than 48 hours ago. Specifically here, against a dangerous team with very good offensive potential, competitive like Coviran Granada and who fought until the end.”
“At the end of the third quarter, we got a little nervous, more than we should have, but it was important to regain our composure and concentration. Overall, being able to reduce the minutes played by key players and even give Campazzo and Deck, who had been playing a lot of minutes, a rest is also something we have been able to achieve with a long-term view. It's one more reason to be happy and return home in a good position in the ACB standings”.
Positive aspects
“Above all, I'm left with the individual responses of some of the players who had been somewhat less effective and productive in recent games. They have responded positively to the stimulus we have given them. They must understand that there are games that can start earlier or later, and you can play more or less, but you have to be motivated and give one hundred per cent of yourself for the only goal we have, which is to win the game. I congratulate them, because I understand that it's not easy and requires an effort that they have made today."
