In an interview for 'Sport', the trainer has remembered that Alonso "does with the very fast place, from the first moment. In the club there was a lot of confidence in him, had a lot potential. Especially offensive. It was this side that now is fashionable. High, with a lot of incorporation, a lot of arrival"

On his starts like canterano of the Madrid, Menéndez rememora that "it was a side with offensive vocation, a lot of verticality, a big left-handed, a lot of confidence in if same. Very brave, but that had little defensive energy. It cost him return to the position, measure the form to defend with his defensive line. Although I have seen to some Frames that has grown a lot, that has done strong physically, much more intense. It plays to a speed more, has done him evolve". This probably when arriving to a so dynamic football like the English

A position in full transition

10 years after being the headline of the left band in the Barcelona defence, Jordi Alba seems that it will have to give step to Alejandro Balde and the own Alonso. Menéndez understands that "Xavi no only has thought in that there is an internal rivalry between Marcos and Jordi, that struggle by this position, but Marcos is a player that can do him a lot of shadow to Jordi Alba. Alba goes to have to be to a big level so that Marcos do not remove him the place", sentenced.

On the new project of Xavi to the frante of the Barça, the technician of Alonso in the Castilla highlights that "it is incredible. Xavi Hernández has an enormous project between hands. And on it has signed to players with hunger like Lewandowski, Raphinha or the own Marcos Alonso. We go to see if it achieves them conjuntar well".
