00:00 "He will continue to be very successful. He played as a player that you could imagine
00:07 that he will be a very good coach. He is proving that now. I learned a lot about football
00:14 by watching Xabi Alonso play football and unfortunately I had to play against him often.
00:20 He showed me that he was a player that was very focused on football.
00:31 He was one of the most important figures in the national team,
00:38 in Bayern, Real Madrid and Liverpool. He was in the central position in midfield
00:45 and he led his team with anticipation and understanding, but also with a natural aura
00:55 and he celebrated the greatest successes.
00:58 That's why it's not a big surprise that he is an outstanding coach."
