Xabier "Xabi" Alonso Olano (Basque: [ˈʃaβi aˈlons̺o oˈlano], Spanish: [ˈ(t)ʃaβj aˈlonso oˈlano]; born 25 November 1981) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a central midfielder.
I am still a Liverpool fan and will be forever, absolutely
I've still got Paul Scholes' shirt at home which I swapped with him once. When I was at Liverpool he was one of the players I liked most. Maybe he's not valued as much as he should be in England because of the style of football there and because he keeps a low profile. Perhaps he would have been more valued in Spain, where midfielders like him form part of the 'ideal. ' Fans in Spain rate him very highly and I admire him a huge amount.
As long as we have the possibility then we still have to fight for it.
I left Real Madrid for the same reason Di Maria did. We work hard but only others get the praise.
I tried to do everything just as I would before any other match, but it was impossible.
I had five great years at Liverpool and I would rather just keep that memory as it is.
We will have to go to win. There's no other option. We have one more match.
