Chus Mateo, the coach of Real Madrid, spoke ahead of the 16th round EuroLeague game where his team will face Partizan.
After the win over Crvena Zvezda, the Madrid team is turning its focus to the upcoming game against the Serbian team, Partizan. The Spanish coach had commendable words for the team from Belgrade.
“Partizan is in incredible form; its players are at an excellent level. They play exceptionally well as a team. They have a lot of experience. They’ve solved many tactical options in the last few games in a winning way. They are a team that plays very intelligently and perfectly reads all situations that give them an advantage on the court.
Partizan has progressed a lot in terms of performance since the beginning of the season. For me, this is the toughest game among all that await us in the coming days because they play at a championship level. Partizan wants to be a champion, to qualify for the Final Four, and they will surely be there because of the consistency they show every day, the potential of the team, and the coach,” emphasized Chus Mateo.
Fabien Causeur also spoke ahead of this duel:
“Partizan is athletically powerful and a very well-coached team. As in every season, the level of their play will only rise. They come here with confidence after a win in Valencia. They are familiar with our court from last year’s playoffs and seek revenge. We have to be ready for that.
Our results speak for themselves; we play with a lot of confidence, perform well on both ends of the court, but we must not relax. We have to give our all in every game. Tomorrow’s game is crucial, especially for our fans, and I hope they will witness a great show.”
