Mateo: “Olympiacos deserved the win as much as we did – If anyone had to take the shot, it was Yule”

The opinion that the Olympic deserved the victory and the Euroleague trophy as much as the Real Madridexpressed the Chus Mateo.

The “Queen” coach after winning the European trophy proceeded to speak at the “White Week” of the Real Madrid Graduate School Universidad Europea and emphasized, among other things, that he still has not fully realized the magnitude of the success with Real.

I still haven’t realized what we accomplished. I’ve been at Real since I was a little kid and the team’s values ​​are deeply ingrained in me. I know we have achieved something big. To think that I am part of history and that my name will be next to those of Pablo Lasso and Manuel Sainz makes me giddy.

When the final horn sounded I tried to contain my emotions and show respect to the opponent who deserved the win as much as we did. It was a very nice experience. I was convinced that we would make it. We have been on the edge of the abyss many times. Against Partizan, in the semi-final with Barcelona, ​​in a final that seemed practically impossible with the way Olympiacos played. But we made it. What I’m most proud of is the chemistry that was built in the locker room.

We all knew that the last ball would go to Sergio Yul. Look the players in the eyes. If anyone had to take the shot, it was Sergio. He put the basket that gave us glory. We have international class players but no one could handle the situation like him. I’m so happy for him, because he deserved it more than anyone. It is part of the history of this great club” were the words of the technician of the “Queen”.
