BELGRADE — Real Madrid suffered a lot of hardships this season but they pulled through and made it all the way to EuroLeague Final after Luka Doncic and Sergio Llull led them to a semifinal win against CSKA Moscow. There is one more obstacle on the way to lifting the trophy and it is Fenerbahce Dogus.

It is always a question before these kinds of games if the players are mentally ready but Real Madrid coach Pablo Laso believes it won’t be an issue as they prepared for this whole season: “Sometimes, preparing a game mentally is the easiest thing for a coach. At this point, I believe that there is no player who will not give the maximum in a final, even more at this level. Obviously, apart from the technical aspects, tactical aspects, you tell them to make good basketball, to be aware of the difficulty, to recognize situations … But as I always say, I don’t think that the last day of the exam you should study everything. This is a job that started at the beginning of the season. We have had many injuries, many players coming and going. Now everyone is healthy and I really think the work is done. Now what you have to do is to play a great game and try to be champions”, the coach explained to Eurohoops.

He is also assured that his players will have a good sleep. “They are all going to sleep very well, don’t worry. I will sleep, for sure.”, he said confidently.

The coach also commented on ex-Fenerbahce player Ekpe Udoh saying his former club will surely be the victor: “I’m happy for Udoh. If that’s what he believes, I’m very happy for him.”, Laso finished.
