Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso reckons he has
become a better player since winning Euro 2008.
Spain international Alonso feels that jumping on the roof of
European football has boosted his self-belief.
The former Real Sociedad man, who is having a fine Premier
League season, feels that he has improved as a player since the
historic victory over Germany.
While Spain are due to cross swords with Turkey in their World
Cup qualifying campaign and Liverpool are still involved in the
Premier League and Champions League title races, the talented
Alonso has said that humility is the secret of his success.
“It helped us a lot individually and collectively,” Alonso told
a press conference. “Winning the European Championship made of us
better players.
“The squad is in a good mood and the players are feeling
great.
“The atmosphere within the team is very good and there is a top
understanding between the players that you can see when we are on
the pitch.
“Humility is the best formula to carry on matching our
objectives.”
