Pablo Laso has shared his expectations ahead of the game between Bayern and Real Madrid in the EuroLeague Round 20th.
Pablo Laso will face Real Madrid for the second time this season, the team where he made a name for himself and won the EuroLeague twice.
“We’re talking about Real, a team that has been rolling since the beginning of the season. They have been playing incredibly well despite waiting for injured players. Campazzo sets the rhythm for them, and with leaders like Rodriguez and Llull, the team is guided well. They have many scorers from the outside, such as Hezonja, Deck (who is still missing), Causeur, Rudy, or Abalde. They are a complete team, not to mention their inside game with Tavares and Poirier,” said Laso and then continued:
“Additionally, Yabusele is back, so this is a fantastic team playing at a high level, arguably the best team in Europe. It would be very strange to see them lose. But, of course, we want to win the game. To have a chance, we need to play a very good game and hope that they are not at their best level for once.
We have a home game, and I expect another great atmosphere. It will probably be a different game than a month ago in Madrid, both sides have players returning, like Lucic for us. We did a lot of things right there, but still lost by more than ten points. We were very good, we just missed some shots. I think we need to focus primarily on defense,” finished Spanish coach.
The game between Bayern and Real Madrid is scheduled for Tuesday, starting at 8 PM.
