• Euroleague: Barça imposes itself on a double-sided Olympiacos

Barça coach Svetislav Pesic believes that the Endesa League match against Real Madrid that his team will play this Sunday at Palau Blaugrana is always complicated and we must not forget that the rival is, according to him, "the best team of Europe in the last two, three years . "

"I don't know if they can beat the NBA teams, but they can compete against them. And now, it's better than all the teams on the continent. They have continuity, experience and play at a very high level, " he said.

On the current moment of Barça, Pesic was satisfied, although he wants more: "We now have continuity, we have improved, although we still do not know each other as they know each other, allowing them to make a game that seems automatic . We are not at this level yet. " "We have our quality and our enthusiasm and we are prepared to compete in every game. For that we have to train a lot and give our best every day; only then can you improve," he said.

In any case, he wanted to downplay the meeting tomorrow, which he sees as "one more opportunity" to know what the level of his team. "Since arriving in February 2018, we have won many games and two titles at Madrid . We can play against all the teams in Europe and tomorrow we are expected to give the maximum," he added.

For the Barca coach, the key to the game will be "prevent them from achieving transition points and counterattack" , one of the targets' weapons: "In addition, they throw a lot of three points, with many players who can shoot well and attack the offensive rebound. "

Also highlighted is the role that Walter Tavares plays in the Madrid team's systems since, "being fit is a player who helps the team a lot, has one more year of experience, meets the rivals and Laso has a lot of confidence in him."

In any case, Pesic is convinced that his team will give a great level tomorrow: "Some players must still learn how to play in the Palau , but having physical problems with first level players, the team has shown a lot of character."

"The fans feel they have a team that can give them a lot, and I don't have the feeling of being under a lot of pressure. People come to the pavilion with a lot of desire and that's why we have to give our best," concluded the Serbian.
