Real Madrid

RealmadridTV caught up with former player and current assistant manager of Real Madrid basketball, Alberto Herreros.

"The Siena game is very important. Home teams are playing very well. We are playing well and are capable of winning there. It would be a major step in the right direction. We don't care who we face in the next stage. All that matters now is finishing first in the group."

"The team is off to a near-perfect start in 2010 despite the injuries. No one expected us to be doing so well after so many changes. Real Madrid has proven that it is a great team capable of winning every title. February is going to be terrible. The Top 16 will be decided and in the middle of it all we have the Copa del Rey."

"The team adjusted fast and it was all thanks to Ettore Messina. The players absorbed everything he taught them very fast. He is a great coach and very demanding. The players respect him a lot. Just listen to what they say about him."

"I played against Marko Jaric several times and I never questioned his skills. He has taken good care of himself. He is a natural born winner who has earned the respect of his teammates."

"Van den Spiegel's injury is very bad luck, but we signed a promising player in Tomic. He is 7'2", very fast and has perfect technique."

"We are always one of the favorites to win the Copa del Rey. We want to keep our cool. DKV Joventut can wreak havoc with their great shooters and centers, but I think we are very focused."
