Against Italy, and especially in the first half, Luis Enrique got tired of applauding the actions of Marcos Alonso, who did not leave a moment quiet because he had him glued to his technical area. All the indications of the Asturian reached the side, which again and again left Chiesa behind while connecting wonderfully with Sarabia and Oyarzabal. In fact, the two goals from Spain, which were signed by Ferran, were preceded by two assists from Oyarzabal, but those two plays were born in Alonso, who had an exceptional comeback with the national team and he has earned the right to have the continuity that he did not have before, since he had not dressed in red for three years.

Marcos Alonso made his debut with Julen Lopetegui in that friendly against Argentina at Wanda, March 2018, which ended in a scandal win (6-1). He did not go to the World Cup in Russia, but Luis Enrique landed in Las Rozas and on his first list he included the Chelsea side, who was even a starter in the Asturian’s first match as coach. It was at Wembley, neither more nor less, and Spain won (1-2) with good marks. Alonso was back in the October squad and was also a starter in the second game against the English, this time at home, at Villamarín. The defense was nonsense, especially portrayed by Harry Kane in the first half, and that day Nacho and Alonso were very marked, falling into endless oblivion until Luis Enrique has once again trusted the third of the Alonso saga (Marquitos and Marcos, grandfather and father, were also exceptional footballers).

Marcos Alonso’s life has changed radically in the last six months, as he was ousted at Chelsea and is now european champion, basic for Tuchel and once again useful for the cause of Spain, which is none other than to win his first title since Euro 2012 tomorrow. He is already on his way to 31 years old (he meets them in December) and has spent half a career abroad. It started in the Bolton at the age of 19, he was in the Fiorentina, at Sunderland, again at Fiorentina and has already six courses at Stamford Bridge, where he has curdled in that defense of five of the Chelsea and he has chevrons to throw the fouls, his left-handed hitting is great.

Just one minute in the league

The remarkable game against Italy on Wednesday serves as a pardon for Alonso, although he does not want to give too much thought to his long absence on the lists of Luis Enrique. In recent times, Spain has been a nursery for left-backs, the position that gives less headaches because there is a lot and good. The fixed ones have been and are Jordi Alba and José Luis Gayà, both injured this time, surely that is why Alonso and Sergio Reguilón have been called up. At this stage, footballers such as Juan Bernat, the aforementioned Nacho or Cucurella (without debuting) have paraded through Las Rozas, but Alba and Gayà start with a lot of advantage.

In the summer of 2020 he was very close to signing for the Atlético de Madrid, which ended up betting on Lodi, and Alonso admits that he is attracted to the idea of ​​playing in the League, because as a Real Madrid player he only had a minutejo in the first team (he made his debut with Pelligrini) after completing all the stages in the white quarry. «Before I retire, I would like to have the opportunity to play in the League. It is not something that feels urgent, I am very well in a great team and fighting for great titles. I have two years of contract and we will see what happens in the future, “he recently pointed out in Ser, with confidence through the roof because he has played everything at the beginning of the season despite the fact that Chelsea signed Chilwell for 56 million to compete with him .
