Chus Mateo, Real Madrid coach, stressed that his team left “very focused” and that afterwards “everything was easier for having got the game back on track soon”.
“We have had a good game. We came out very focused and then everything has been easier for getting the game on track. We had many open shot optionss. Today was a day of congratulations for the return of Anthony Randolph; His companions have been very happy, ”said Mateo.
The coach once again affected the “maelstrom of matches” that his players have. “We carry thirteen games since March 3 until today and we must be happy with the balance”, he observed.
Randolph’s return was the best news, besides the victory. “He has been away for a long time and it is not easy to do it after two serious injures. The best way to thank him for his commitment and his work and for him to feel like a player again was for him to go out on the court in front of his fans. Now he is a more mature player and with other game characteristics”, said Mateo.
The coach spoke again about the load of matches. “We have faced the game well after a load that other teams do not have even remotely. The hardest thing is having people physically and emotionally well. But it’s what he plays and the players are doing it very well”, concluded Chus Mateo.
