A Quote by Xabi Alonso

I came from my hometown team, Real Sociedad, to the best team in England, to the best team in Spain, to the best team in Germany. — © Xabi Alonso
I came from my hometown team, Real Sociedad, to the best team in England, to the best team in Spain, to the best team in Germany.
Perhaps the toughest call for a coach is weighing what is best for an individual against what is best for the team. Keeping a player on the roster just because I liked him personally, or even because of his great contributions to the team in the past, when I felt some one else could do more for the team would be a disservice to the team's goals.
To this day I am not convinced of having brought together with me in Germany the technically best players that could have been. But I was firmly convinced I called the ones that could create a team, and they could play with one another to the best of their possibility. In this day and age you win if you become a team. It doesn't necessarily mean that you've got to have the best football players in the country. It's possible that the best, all together, don't become a team. It's like a mosaic, you have to put all the pieces together.
I believe the team of Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard is the best leadership team for the Liberal Party and therefore part of the best leadership team of the Coalition for the country.
When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.
The team that is the most focused and executes the best is the team that wins. That's usually the team that can handle the pressure of the situation.
The best part of being with the Warriors has been the team camaraderie, the team meals, the team pranks, the bond we share.
We have to put the best team to offer a secure alternative to Singaporeans - let me stress, the best team, not the best individuals... The party must comprise members who work with others and not march to their own drumbeat.
I had very good players around me in the team, like in the German national team. Andreas Brehme was one of my best partners in the team because he had good eyes; he could always hit the best ball.
I help my team win. That's overall what I do best. If you watch me play, I'm usually going to be on the winning team. Whether it's scoring enough points or rebounding enough or guarding the best player on the other team, I'm gonna do what it takes to win.
When you play a team with as much attacking power as Barcelona and you restrict them to one shot on target in the second leg, you are doing something right. Have the best football team gone through? Yes. Have the best organised team gone through? No.
A team doesn't have the ball for 90 minutes. It is about the recoveries. I do my best to do that and help the team any way I can. If that's a pass, an assist, a tackle or even if it's only running, I do it for the team.
If my team isn't motivated, it's my fault. I can't consider myself the best of the best until my team is able to get out of the first round.
Sometimes in football, the best team does not necessarily win; it's the team that plays best on the day that prevails.
I train with the best team and the best gym in the world at American Top Team, and we know how to fight.
I've been the best player on every team that I played on, so if I can't be the poster child of your team, then what else is it? It's got to be a black-white issue. Every white player I know who's the best player on their team is the poster child of that team.
The best teams are team in any sport that lose themselves in the team. The individuals lose their identity. And their identities come about as a result of being in the team first.
