“Real Madrid knows how to play these games”

Nicola Milutinov.

“They are a very quality team. They have completed one -third of the regular league, but all their players have won the euroleg titles, so they know how to play these games. The regular season is part of the year, but the ‘playoffs’ and the final four are a completely different competition.”

“We only think about what we can do in tomorrow’s game and try to close it here. We know this is a difficult task, but we are fully focused on what we look forward to tomorrow.”

Milutinov has increased his team’s mistakes in the third part of Tuesday’s clashes: “We have to play better than yesterday, we are not strong enough. They have been very hard enough, they played very physically. We have played very physically. We have lost a lot of balls and they want to win Real Madrid as a very good team, because they are a very good team.

“Because of us, especially in the third quarter, we have lost many balls and they have achieved very simple points. And in these types of matches, it is very difficult to win if you allow very simple points,” he said.
