Marcos Alonso: The Strongest Opponent I’ve Faced in My Career is Messi – He Can Score Two Goals at Any Given Opportunity

On September 20th, Celta Vigo defender Marcos Alonso spoke about the development of his career and praised Messi highly, stating that if given even a little space, Messi can easily score two goals.

Alonso talked about his time with Real Madrid Castilla (Real Madrid B team): “This experience was very important. Here, I learned how to become a professional player. I met many excellent Spanish players here, and I have great memories of this place.”

Alonso talked about his time with Bolton Wanderers: “It was somewhat complicated. When you suddenly move to a different league, a country with a different culture and lifestyle, there’s always an adjustment period. But I don’t regret joining Bolton; it was a very correct decision at the time.”

Alonso talked about his time with Chelsea: “I scored a lot more here. At Chelsea, the team gave me the freedom to attack.”

Alonso talked about his time with Fiorentina: “This team had a variety of defensive tactics, and I gained a lot of experience.”

Alonso talked about his time with Barcelona: “I got the opportunity to play alongside many world-class players. In my first season, I won La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup, which was very important for my career.”

Alonso talked about his time with Celta Vigo: “I am at a critical point in my career where I need to regain regular playing time. I can still contribute to the team. As a defender, I can perform well on both offense and defense, and I can also impart experience to young players.”

Alonso talked about his best performance: “During my time at Chelsea, in a match against Tottenham, I scored two goals to help the team win 2-1.”

Alonso talked about the best coach in his career: “During my time at Fiorentina, Paulo Sousa placed great trust in me, and he was the first coach to do so. During my time at Chelsea, Conte was also like that. He had incredible working ability, and sometimes it was hard to keep up with him.”

Alonso talked about Messi: “I’ve faced many outstanding players in my career, but the most special one is undoubtedly Messi. On the field, you cannot give him even a centimeter of space. If you give him any small amount of space, he can easily score two goals.”
