Reina's inside guide to Spain
Ahead of Spain's Euro 2012 semi-final clash with Portugal tonight, Pepe Reina took time out from training to give Match Magazine the lowdown on life in the Spanish camp...
Reina on teammates.....
My best mate in Spain's squad is normally David Villa, but with him injured I'd say Santi Cazorla, Fernando Torres and Fernando Llorente are the lads I'm closest to. I have known them the longest and I also sit with Fernando Torres on the team bus.
Reina on preparation.....
When we aren't playing or training, our main focus is to watch the other teams at Euro 2012. We watch almost every match, and afterwards we talk to each other about how each player has performed.
Reina on chilling out.....
We often have double training sessions at tournaments, which leaves us very little time away from football to do anything. In my spare time I like to relax, but when we are together I often play cards with the lads.
Reina on movie watching...
We have a great selection of movies inside Spain's training camp. It is very well organised so they are available in the hotel, but I don't watch that many.
Reina on dressing-room music.....
I'd have to say I have the best taste in music of anyone in our squad, but after me the next best would be Sergio Ramos. We don't normally swap CDs, but if I had to do it with one of my Spain teammates, I'd swap with him.
Reina on squad banter.....
There is a very good atmosphere in the Spain squad and many, many jokes are told and played around the training ground. If I had to name one person to keep your eye on, it would be Jordi Alba. He is dangerous!
