Spanish international and Real Madrid midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in 2009.
The Spanish midfielder joined the Reds way back in 2004 and had a very successful run with the club. He went on to win the Champions League with Liverpool, but failed to win the league.
Despite that fact, he seems to still be attached to the club and the country and feels that they have a very special place in his heart.
The way things stand, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alonso-c5254 has admitted that going into the game is going to be a challenge for him, because of the memories that he shares
with some of the players.
Spain ensured their progress to the knock out stages, after they went on to beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879 by one goal to nil in the last group game that they were set to play.
When talking about the upcoming game and just how he feels about facing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 [in the quarter-final]"
"I have a special connection with England, but we must wait until tomorrow. I hope I have the chance to play my game with Spanish national team. [It was] a great achievement.”
Should England face off against Liverpool, Alonso will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196. The same player, whom he formed a rather brilliant partnership with at Anfield and a player who he knows better than just about anyone out there.
As a result, the midfield battle between the two teams is going to be very interesting, given the fact that two lynchpins will know each other’s moves, before they even make them.
England need to go on and get a positive result against Ukraine to ensure their progress from the group. The teams are set to face off later in the day and given the way that England have played in their last two games, they are being hailed as the favourites
to make it out of their group.
