Regal Barça coach, Xavi Pascual, has spoken about how important it was to end a three-week period of away trips with a perfect record.
“We are pleased to win seven road games in a row”, he told the press at the Pisuerga.
Regal Barça had just won 59-73 against Valladolid based Blancos.
The following is what the Barça coach had to say after the game.
“We are happy to win because we know how hard it is to win here. They have a very good
home record”.
“We started the game well and with intensity. It was a good first period. The second
was closer but not in terms of the score. We started well in the third but they caused problems
with their defensive changes and that changed the pace of the game. But we made sure of our lead in
the final period”.
“Blancos de Rueda Valladolid have plenty of resources. They are having an extraordinary
season and are very well coached”.
“We didn’t let them play their classic counter-attack game. We did what we wanted
to do”.
“We didn’t want them to make long throws because they can add 60 or more points
to their score”.
