Pablo Laso, the head coach of Bayern Munich, spoke before the EuroLeague Round 16 matchup where his team will face Monaco.
The Spanish coach spoke highly of the opponent, expressing a lot of respect. He emphasized that Monaco has a powerful roster at every position.
“Monaco has one of the best rosters in the league, certainly among the top five. Position by position, we’re talking about excellent players. They have James, Walker, Okobo… But also Diallo, Blossomgame…
They have a lot of players, and it’s always challenging to deal with them. They are strong and athletically potent within the team. They are covered at every position, can create many one-on-one situations with talented players. It will be tough against them; we’ll have to do an excellent job if we want to have a slim chance for that victory,” said Pablo Laso.
Sylvain Francisco also spoke ahead of this matchup, highlighting that he will see many familiar faces in the game and emphasizing that defense is key.
“I will meet again with some friends, but of course, it will be a tough game for us. Against them, we need to particularly focus on defense and timing for rebounds to disrupt their rhythm,” said Sylvain Francisco.
