BELGRADΕ – “The lesson we learned last year is that nobody is going to give you anything and that you have to go out and bite”, said Real Madrid‘s star who returned to action during the playoffs after being injured for eight and a half months.
“Everyone wants to win and CSKA will come out with the knife in their teeth. We have to match that intensity and play very hard to win”, explained Llull who spoke about the long road of Real Madrid until the Final Four: “It was a goal to be here and we have fulfilled it after a complicated and very hard year with so many injuries. I think the team arrives in the semifinal well and prepared but a Final Four is never easy. We come with much desire and with great enthusiasm and we hope to compete to the maximum and get the title “.
Llull is often compared to Real Madrid’s football star Sergio Ramos. “I am flattered to be compared with a player like Sergio Ramos”, said Llull. “We have character, we always want to compete at the highest level, we always want to win, we never give up and we always fight until the end for the good of our team. ”
