Chus Mateo, coach of Real Madrid, described as “very hard” the league competition and regarding the first game in Girona, he pointed out that they will be waiting for them “to give a joy to your hobby”. “This competition is always very attractive for the spectator but it is very tough. It demands a lot of demand and each game has an added difficulty, and more so away from home. We are playing against a rival like Girona, which is newly promoted and will have great hope, because after many years the city once again has a team in the ACB”. Mateo told the club’s media.
The Madrid coach highlighted the figures of Marc Gasol and Aito García Reneses. “They have Marc Gasol and Aíto García Reneses, who are two national basketball legends. Surely they will be waiting for us to give a joy to their fans. We expect a difficult rival, who has quality and players with a name like Colom and Franch, who have been in leading teams”, he indicated. “And let’s not forget that Marc Gasol is an NBA player who wanted to come and play in the Endesa League. With which, all respect for GironaMatthew added.
Adam Hanga is low and also Rudy Fernandez. “Hanga was injured in the Super Cup and will be out for a while. And Rudy exactly the same. We will incorporate Hugo González among the twelve of the squad, who is one of the players from the quarry who has been helping us in preseason”.
The League begins almost without time for anything. “You hardly have time to analyze the rival and to train. We have been very focused on the Super Cup and now is when we turn our attention to Girona. You have to be very attentive and know that mentally we have to be ready to face a game that will be very difficult”, concluded Chus Mateo.
