early years
Habi Alonso was born in sports, footballfamily. His father played for Real Sociedad, and together with the team he became a two-time national champion. He also played for the Catalan “Barcelona”. Brother Habier is also a footballer, and he is a midfielder. At the moment, is in the ranks of “Charlton Athletic”. The second brother is a football judge. Therefore, it would not seem surprising that Xabi Alonso became a football player. But his passion for football is not an imposed feeling. It manifested itself in early childhood, when little Habier spent all his time on the beaches of San Sebastian and played football there. At a very early age, competing with his childhood friend, he decided that he would be a defensive midfielder.
At age 15, he fell under the exchange program and went toKells (Ireland) to learn English. He, along with Mikel Arteta (his friend), dreamed of playing for Real Sociedad FC. However, their paths diverged, since Alonso's friend went to Barcelona. But Habi fulfilled the dream. It was in “Sociedad” that he began to progress. By the way, in 2004, the childhood friend Alonso returned. But this time they were not lucky. Very soon, Xabi Alonso received an invitation from “Liverpool” to speak for them and, of course, agreed.
Career in England
A new stage in the life of Xabi Alonso.The biography of this period is considered the most interesting. He has become a truly irreplaceable player for Liverpool. Recall, at least, the match with “Fulham”, when his club lost 0-2 in the first half. One in the second on the field went Xabi. And the final score of the match was 4: 2.
Unfortunately, in 2005, Alonso broke his anklein the match with “Chelsea” (then he faced Frank Lampard). Three months he had to be treated. But then he returned, just during the decisive matches of the playoffs of the Champions League tournament and replaced Steven Gerrard, who was also injured at the time. In the final, when the club played with Milan, equalized the score, and then Liverpool won the post-match series, thereby winning the main league of the Champions League.
Last five years

Moreover, they didn’t even want to pay the “Liverpool” minimum set by the British, allegedly saying that this was a huge amount of money for him, and in fact they already spent on Kaka and Ronaldo. However, it was this man, whom he did not want to pay for, that became, as a result, a key player in the central midfield.
In 2014, Xabi decided to move toMunich “Bavaria”. For him, Munich gave 10 million euros, and did not regret. There were still no such players who would be so quickly joined the team and the team. Many fans themselves are surprised to say that it seems that Xabi was always with them. And the football player himself is pleased with his new club and the people who surround him there. And this, I must say, is mutual.
