Roger Powell: "I am prepared to assume any responsibility" (27/10/2009)

Roger, first, how are you in town and on your new computer?

The truth is that I love Murcia, is a great city, and I really like my teammates.

Do you have a ritual before games?

Yes, before the game ground to pray, asking God to give me the strength I need for the party and the ability to play well.

I try to encourage in this sense, all my mates too.

How do you encourage your teammates before heading out to play?

Well, now I have the language problem, I'm trying to solve with Spanish lessons and, from there, try to make the entire group to pray with me.

With the few words I know, for example: Come on guys, come on ...

attempt to strengthen them for the moment.

Against Real Madrid, improve your performance after the break ...

Yes, in the first part was very tired, you could tell he had only trained once with the team, but the second I started to get my rhythm, I felt more confident and stronger, so I want to thank coach, it gave me a second chance considering that in the first was tired.

I would like to have won the game, regardless of my score.

Have you been surprised by the ACB League as a competition?

ACB surprises me, since we have already faced two major (Vitoria and Madrid), that absolutely all computers have the ability to beat you and beat you order from top to bottom of the table.

I'm also surprised that the CPF care much for the players, something that has caught my attention compared to other leagues do not take into account such details.

In the preseason, you become a team leader.

Think you're ready to be well during the campaign?

I'm ready to play as hard as possible, but not for being a leader or something, but because all the players try to play with all their strength to support their team and in my case, if you ask me that role, I am prepared to assume this responsibility.

What have you written in your shoes?

The first thing that always put on my shoes is 'Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior' and then include quotations, which give me energy during the game.

What do you know the next opponent of CB Murcia, Lagun Aro GBC?

I know it's a good team, which has a base and a bodyguard quite good and therefore we have to compete well for the win.

How do you feel physically after overcoming your injury?

I have been working very well for seven or eight days I have had absolute quiet to recover.

The coaching staff, in this sense, has done a great job, but take protection throughout the year to prevent a recurrence.
