The Real Madrid coach, Pablo Laso, was exultant after the victory against Barça that allowed them to be in the Euroleague final. The coach praised the work of his men, of whom he said that "they executed the planned plan very well" and that they "remained very focused throughout the match."
Real Madrid will seek a new Euroleague title against Anadolou Efes. After trailing by up to 11 points, the Whites managed to come from behind in the third quarter. “It was a great victory. You have to give credit to the boys, they have executed the planned match plan very well against an opponent who has many weapons, many have taken a step forward. The important thing is that we have always stayed focused on the match,” he noted regarding the match.
Laso recognized the difficulty of the game despite being ahead on the scoreboard in the final minutes. “They are a great team, with a lot of talent, when we turned it around we didn't feel like we had it won either. Now to think about the final”, he summed up.
In addition, he assured that to get to this moment the work had been arduous for many months. “The management of the final four begins in September, because when you arrive it is because of a lot of work beforehand”, he pointed out. In addition, he recalled the difficulties that his team had for months. "The Copa del Rey final hurt us a lot, we've had injuries, but we quickly started preparing for the Euroleague finals, the boys have given their best moments".
Among the white players, Sebastian Causeur was excited by his great game against Barça. “I am dead, even my voice, I have given everything, I have left everything. It's going to be hard for me to lower my heart rate to think about the final. If you don't give it your all here you're not in the final”, he pointed out. The French recognized being “a little excited. Many people have doubted us, but I am very happy. Tonight to try to rest. A Euroleague final is won, not played”, he concluded.
Another of the players with prominence throughout the game was Walter Tavares, who analyzed the key in the third quarter to “level up his physical level, we have been successful, not like in previous games and that has helped us. Efes is a great rival. It's a new party”, he finished it.
