Tavares: “We're going to try to protect our home court, with our people”
“A Real Madrid-Fenerbahçe match-up is a classic, a very exciting game, but also a very tough one,” said the centre.
Walter Tavares spoke ahead of the Real Madrid-Fenerbahce game, on matchday eight of the EuroLeague, which will be played at the Movistar Arena (9 pm CET): “Fenerbahçe are a very tough side to play against as they're the reigning EuroLeague champions. They are a well-established, experienced team who know how to win. A Real Madrid-Fenerbahçe match-up is a classic, a very exciting game, but also a very tough one. We're going to try to do what we're doing well, which is to protect our home court, with our fans behind us.”
“We have to be ready at all times because it will be a 40-minute contest. If we play one or two quarters badly, it will be very difficult to win because Fenerbahçe are a team that know how to control the pace and it will be very tough for us. We have to be in the game for the full 40 minutes.”
