He real Madrid It is another, with each passing day it reminds more of that almost perfect machine that spreads fear wherever it passes, whether in Spain or Europe. This Sunday, Manresa was their victim. A couple of attacks were enough for the whites to crush the Catalans and sign their fourth consecutive victory between the ACB and the Euroleague, now forgetting that crisis in which they added five defeats in the first five games of the season.
Chus Mateo smiles because his team shows unprecedented generosity. He shares the ball, annihilates from the outside shot and, above all, makes a difference from defense. It is the way of Tavares the best news for meringues. The Cape Verdean, after a lukewarm start to the campaign, is once again an insurmountable wall. Against Manresa, he added 10 points and six rebounds and his mere presence in the zone was a nightmare for the visitors.
At the other end of the field they stood out Hezonja and Rathan-Mayesboth authors of 14 points. The Croatian is well known on WiZink, but the Canadian is already beginning to show why the sports management opted for him in the summer. He is a great defender, he has emerged as an interesting substitute for Campazzo and, in addition, it can make a difference in the scoring section.
It also deserves a few lines Hugo Gonzalez. The great pearl of the Madrid youth academy, only 20 years old, has been permanently integrated into the first team rotation, although in part thanks to injuries. Against Manresa he played 20 minutes and was able to add eight points and two rebounds, in addition to causing four fouls. The other youngest of the group, Sedi Gueyewith just turned 17, scored four goals in just 3 minutes on the court.
«I am happy because we have done our homework in the last four games. Today we had to get it into our heads that it was not going to be easy and we resolved very well and closed the game in the first half. “We have defended at the level we want to be and we have left the opponent at low percentages, which is something we are looking for,” he said. Matthew at a press conference.
With morale charged, Madrid faces one of those cotton tests this week. On Tuesday he will travel to Athens to face the Olympiacos (8:15 p.m.) and on Thursday they will face each other at home against Tel Aviv Maccabi 8:05 p.m.), two Euroleague historics that will serve to definitively show whether the eleven-time European champion is back.
