The coach of Real Madrid, Pablo Laso, has valued the victory of his team against the Breogán River (73-67), in the match corresponding to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey 2022, held in Granada. The Galician team stood up to the whites and came to have real options in the last quarter, but in the end they gave in and were on the verge of a great blow.
“I want to congratulate my players, Breogán is playing at a very good level. One key was not letting him run and we’ve lowered his records a lot. There is an aspect in defense that is the rebound, they have grown there. We’ve had less control at times than that. When we were worst, that triple arrived that gave us airLasso said.
The man from Vitoria has also talked about the experience: “It’s important, but we’ve done a great job all game. There are players who are playing their first Cup. It is not decisive, the forcefulness in the game was decisive. The advantage has been in the first minutes“.
About the duel between Abalde and Musa, the coach has been clear: “He has done a great job overall. The team has understood very well and has helped him. Offensively he has also made very good decisions. It was one of his best games with Real Madrid“.
“We have lacked success in the triples, but above all playing in the open field to have more difference. Now we have to recover from the effort because Saturday is another great effort for sure“, added the Real Madrid coach.
The words of Tavares
Edy Tavares also spoke to the media after the crash: “It has been a very difficult game. They have had a great season. It is one of the best teams in attack and it has cost us. We have kept calm until the end. We have played a great game in attack, we have been patient, we have remained calm in difficult moments. We know that it is difficult because there are many games in a row. We have to keep fighting“.
“We have played many games in a row and at the end of the week it has cost us a bit. Let them say what they want, we are going to try to keep winning everything. You are used to the pressure, the teams study us well, they attack us well. In difficult times we have players who have played very important games and that always helps.“, added the pivot.
