Xabi Alonso glad for England’s praise

Spain secured a 2-0 win over England side during last night’s highly anticipated international friendly. “We have received praise from the English. Their team masseur, for example, who also works for Liverpool, told me that we were just too good for them,” Spain midfileder Xabi Alonso told AS at the conclusion of the game.

“Those are congratulatory words that we all like to hear but it is also important not to think too much about it or about our ranking or position”, he added.

“We are enjoying a good run of form but we only want to think about what we are doing and how we can continue improving,” Xabi Alonso concluded.
