This is the story of a different kind of soccer player, a midfielder who marked an era with his class, vision, and temperament. From his debut with Real Sociedad, following in the footsteps of his father Periko, to becoming a star player for Benítez's Liverpool, Xabi forged a career where style and intelligence always prevailed over noise. After spells at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and after being a key player in the best Spanish national team of all time--twice European champions and world champions--Xabi Alonso swapped his boots for the bench. What seemed like a prudent, almost academic transition has turned into a dazzling breakthrough: in just a few years, he has turned Bayer Leverkusen into a cult team, bringing excitement and total football back to the Bundesliga with a style reminiscent of the one that made him a star player. This book, updated after his signing as coach of Real Madrid, traces his path from the fields of Zubieta to the top of world football. It is a portrait of a discreet leader, a brilliant strategist, and a man who has made the midfield--and now the bench--his natural territory. It is the biography of a genius who has known how to adapt to every challenge with the same elegance with which he always played.
