It seems out of a classroom of Deusto more than one of those dressing rooms converted into barracks Warriors sleeve. With the naturalness of a hairstyle at bay in which appreciates the value and not the claim, Xabi Alonso he anticipates bringing up a traditional home, where work is the linchpin upon which everything else is built. That way it did his father, Perico, a Stakhanovite of the Liverpool player said he received only one tip: take the football professionally.
Load with a surname, even better, take it beyond the borders of our football, requires a maturity that is possible only maintain but lost the cardinal points of a lifetime. As one of the emigrants Glos by Pio Baroja, Xabi Alonso keeps very well the balance between Toulouse and Anfield. For some, the footballer basque claimed to 'balancing players' face of' destabilising '.
Did you say you by Agüero, who will face in the Champions League? How is the bull from the barrier?
As a footballer different, which makes things unique, innate, that most professionals can not even try.
What theirs is the opposite. "My job is to maintain the balance of the team, offer solutions to others and fill the spaces. The less time having the ball at his feet, the better, because if you're the point of transition between defence and attack, it must be fast, "he explains in the boot of a talk very didactic, because Xabi Alonso does not dogma, does not make anything momentous. We also learned that what his father.
About this imbalance, wants to add two things. The first is that, despite the danger of Agüero, the player of the Champions League that it seemed from another world is Messi: "It's a scandal." The same thought of his partner in the attack of Barcelona, Thierry Henry, although when he played in Arsenal: "In my first year in the 'Premier', I hit. Striker was the most destabilising, to which I have faced." Immediately, however, returns to balance: "But my favorite is Paul Scholes. This is the footballer who always does the right thing, it more convenient for his team, either in defence or attack."
About Rafa Benitez: "We have a coach-player relationship, respect and point"
As everyone knows where Xabi Alonso will be pockets in mourning before the athletes next month: "It will be special for Torres, as it would be for me to play in Anoeta, but I think so too will be for the public Calderon, with a double feeling. " "The athlete added has formed a very powerful team, but I think the level is very evenly throughout the group.'s Going to be difficult." Olympique de Marseille and PSV Eindhoven is completed.
At age 27, basque would have liked to go to Juventus: "There was the possibility and I must say that I attracted a new adventure, because they know another country and another football enriches you as a player and as person, because it gives you experiences I also appreciate life. " When not possible, conducted an exercise of options it has returned his best football, despite the doubts of Rafa Benitez: "This must be constant, neither too optimistic in good times, nor pessimistic ill. When football must be given the significance fair and, above all, one must know how to disconnect. If not, you crazy. " That's easier in England than in Spain.
It appreciates the tranquility that we have to work without exposure to the media. I do not know if that is the key to emigrants we go well, but what is clear is that if the Spanish soccer player, with quality that is, adapting to high pace game, cuaja.
Is not this distorted image of classical English football, after the arrival of so many players and technicians of the continent?
There are still many teams that play direct, pending the second game, because they know that if they try to possession of the football teams face more quality, have everything to lose.
In its golden era, Liverpool was much more than the British spirit, although the transformation that began iconoclastic Gérard Houllier and continued Benitez has been governed by efficiency, without further. Neither touches outburst as Manchester, or combining as Arsenal. Weigh, launches and kills. "We do not play live, but if we seek to move from defence to attack within a few touches. The coach's obsession is that in this transition team is not decompose, to remain compact, with the defensive solidity that is what makes you win many parties, "he explains.
Hiperactivo in the dedication and obsessive as a taxidermy, Benitez exprime so the footballer who often overflows its deposit psychological. If that happens, it's best to change, and perhaps this was one of the thoughts that made technical and player, even to themselves. "It's very demanding, but over time you adapter. You know how when we win and when we lose and you no longer surprised certain things," said the player. When her son was born, the British press attributed a rift between the two by refusing to give a technician extra day of leave: "We wrote a lot of things, but it was not anything. We have a coach-player relationship, respect and point" . A significant point.
Directions to the selection of Liverpool is like going from "drive on the left to do it right, two radically different forms." Despite leaving from the bench, Xabi Alonso confessed that he felt "important" in the Euro. Speaking of Luis Del Bosque or more looseness that Benitez: "Luis was more emotional, arrived puntazos soccer with those with whom you laughed a lot. With Vincent changed the method, day after day, but the group remains the same because what we are football people, with common sense. Time will tell, but I believe that the choice of replacement was very correct. "
You are a footballer to the liking of the new selector for some time. It may increase its ownership.
