The Cape Verdean, who was one of the highlights of the victory with 15 points, revealed the words of coach Chus Mateo before taking to the field. “As our coach said, we had to believe and we have believed. He asked us to do our best to see if we could win and we did,” said Tavares.
“It is difficult to play against such a tough team in the Euroleague, if not the best, and we miss many teammates. So we came with the intention of fighting and giving everything. Never give up and fight to the end, this is Madrid “added the center of the meringues.
For his part, his teammate Nigel Williams-Goss stressed the importance of the start. “We just fought, we believed, and I think the first quarter set the tone. We came out aggressive and marked the game by telling them that we were here to play and try to win,” he said.
“I am happy for the young people and for the coach, who did an incredible job,” added Williams-Goss, who sent a message to his teammates who have tested positive for coronavirus. “We took a step forward for you, we hope you are resting, the most important thing is that you stay healthy and haha Madrid!”, He concluded.
