“We have to win one of the two games”, stated the Real Madrid coach. “We have to play better. Darussafaka is a very complicated team and we expect two difficult games in Turkey. We have to be prepared from minute one, because they have players of very high quality.”
Darussafaka edged the Spanish team in Game 2, with a neat offensive game: “I do not think they have changed their style of play offensively. It’s a team that has played in a similar way throughout the season. They are very good players, one against one and two against two. Defensively, they are capable of doing many things by physical presence.”
As for whether the team is ready for the games in Turkey, he mentions: “I see my players are good. There’s only one little problem with Thompkins, who suffers from lower back pain. Hopefully not something serious, he is going to travel. We are 24 hours away from the game and they are all well.”
