Even with such brilliant performance at the club, Alonso has never been called into the national team by national team coach Lopez Ji. "I have always dreamed of playing in the World Cup for my national team next year," Alonso said in an interview. "I have been working hard for this, which is why I can play for Chelsea."
Alonso comes from a football family, and his grandfather Marcos Alonso Imaz wrote the myth of the five-time champion with Stefano and Puskas in the 1950s. His father also played for Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, helping the Spanish national team reach the European Cup finals.
Influenced by his family, Marcos Alonso/Kloc-0 joined the Real Madrid youth training camp at the age of 0/0, but it is difficult for young Spanish defenders to get playing time in the star-studded Galaxy battleship as adults. 20 10 April, Alonso got the only chance to play for Real Madrid under pellegrini. He came on as a substitute for Higuain in the 89th minute and played for the White Legion 1 minute, which was his full time for Real Madrid. /kloc-When he was 0/9 years old, he chose to leave and join Bolton, and then played in Florence for many years, during which he also went to Sunderland on loan. Kong Di also took the Serie A defender with him when he came to Stamford Bridge last season. Alonso made his mark in the Premier League and became an important member of Chelsea's championship.
But why is Alonso, who shines in the club, always difficult to get the call of the Spanish national team?
At present, the Spanish national team is used to the 4-3-3 formation, and it will often be changed to 4-4-2 in the game. In any case, the system of four defenders will not change. Alba is the number one candidate for this position in the national team. He can also serve as the left winger, with fast speed and strong breakthrough ability. Both offensive and defensive ends can bring good benefits to the team. But it is difficult for Alonso to integrate into such a team. Physically, 1.88m Alonso is really different from mainstream full-backs. Being too tall, he will lag behind a small player like Alba in turn and pace frequency, so he is not suitable to be independent in the four-guard system. Alonso will expose his shortcomings whether he comes back or fights with the opposing winger. At the club, Kong Di is keen on the 3-4-3 formation. Alonso moved forward to the midfield and his height advantage and running ability were released. Helping the defender defend also masks his disadvantage in facing the clever winger.
Although the World Cup qualifiers have ended and Alonso has not got a minute to play for the national team, this does not mean that Alonso has completely missed the national team. There are still eight months before the start of the World Cup, and everything is still variable.
