The postponement of their Euroleague match against Anadolu Efes due to the earthquake in Turkey, has left Madrid without games for a week, more time to train, something very unusual. The whites visit UCAM Murcia this Sunday (18:30, #Vamos) before facing the Cup quarterfinals in Badalona next Thursday. Chus Mateo has spoken in the club’s media before the league move to Murcia: “It is a field that always makes things difficult for you, a rival with a lot of intensity and very strong in the paint. He is one of the best in rebounding globally and offensively, who likes to run after a loss and you have to pay attention to the defensive balance. Also, they have good shooters and one-on-one players, with size, and they don’t allow you to do things easily. We have to be prepared to play carefully”.
“We have to try to be focused, knowing that it will not be an easy match. You have to be patient for 40 minutes and not think about other things that can distract you. It’s a very important game for us and we have to pay all the attention in the world”.
“Looking forward to playing”
“We almost always prepare the matches in the same way, but the training dynamics have changed. We have trained more days due to the postponed match and we are looking forward to resuming the competition, because such a long week without matches seems strange to us”.
