Real Madrid will play this Sunday against Barça (18:30, #Vamos) their fourth consecutive final of the Endesa Super Cup in search of their fourth online title. “We will try to rest to be as cool as possible. They are very physical, they don’t let you breathe. We need our best version. It will be very interesting to know where we are “, said Fabien Causeur after the hard-fought victory against Lenovo Tenerife:”It was a very difficult match, as we expected. It is difficult to win without a hit of three (4/28), but we defended very well. It was a good victory to be able to play the first final of the season ”.
The defensive diagnosis of the Frenchman was shared by Pablo Laso. The white coach was proud of the victory and, above all, of the work of his players. “We played a very high level defensive game. It was magnificent. Even in attack we had good moments, but when you don’t put in… everything seems worse. We fight to turn the game around ”.
Causeur and Guerschon Yabusele were two of Madrid’s most outstanding: “He was solid. Two of his actions were decisive (a steal and a triple) in such a close match. I never doubt his work“He said of the French forward. Of the pivot, who had 15 points and 8 rebounds in his official debut with Madrid, said: “It seems that he has been at Madrid for a long time. He played a great game. He makes good decisions, he has integrated quickly … I am very happy. His signing is a success”.
The Barcelona
As for his rival this Sunday, the Vitorian highlighted his continuity line: “He maintains his hallmarks, the things they did well last season and you know you have to do a great job to win them. ” “His spine is the same: Calathes, Higgins, Davis, Mirotic … But if you ask me, the ones I would not like to see would be Kuric or Abrines.”
As for Rudy, who was unable to finish the match due to a knee injury, he was concerned: “I am worried that it was not a blow, but that he felt that his knee had failed him”.
