BARCELONA, 12 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Real Madrid center Walter ‘Edy’ Tavares stated that “you always choose to play important games” if you are in the Madrid team, so he hopes to beat Barça in the final Endesa League playoff to lift the title for the third time time.

“At Real Madrid you always choose to play the important games. I love playing finals. Having the opportunity to lift another title would be incredible, I want to experience it again,” he said this Sunday at the presentation of the final at the Espacio punt de Vistes from Barcelona.

The Cape Verdean midfielder, one of the best players in the ‘playoff’, appeared accompanied by Madrid’s assistant coach, Chus Mateo, who assisted by Pablo Laso, while the rival side was represented by Sarunas Jasikevicius and Nicolás Laprovittola.


“We are in a final and we want to enjoy it. It is a great achievement to be here, it is not easy because we have to wait eleven months. We have to give everything and whatever happens we want to give good basketball to everyone”, said Tavares about the sensations prior to the first game that will be played this Monday at the Palau Blaugrana.

Regarding the inconveniences that Real Madrid has suffered throughout the season, the pivot recognized the blows. “There are people who could be with us and are not, we have been able to raise our heads and reach the path of victory. Compared to what we have been through during the season, there is no better time to reach the Playoff than now”, he sentenced .
