Here are some insighthful comments about the game from the protagonists themselves.
Pre-game quotes: Valencia vs. Metropolitans 92
Boulogne Metropolitans 92 head coach Vincent Collet:
"It is the second offensive team of the whole EuroCup and the strongest team in rebounds. It means that for us, there will be a battle in which we will have to limit them. We have already suffered on several occasions. It's going to require extra effort and very important vigilance, we know that this is indeed a point that is going to be really crucial. Our ability to limit them, to resist in this area, we would increase our chances of winning. After that will not be enough to control the rebound. We will also have to defend very well, as always in this type of match, but even more so because attack is one of their strong points. It's a team that has a lot of weapons in attack, that's what is complicated above all. They have big ones who step aside, big ones who post. They have defenders who can both shoot and drive, they really have a lot of attacking qualities. So our defense, a bit like what we did last Wednesday, will really have to be at its best there too to slow them down and limitate them."
