After shaming Steve Harper’s ancestors by lobbing the Newcastle goalie from 60 yards, Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso has revealed the disturbing lack of professionalism and dedication to training that helped him take the first step to being the Next David Beckham…or Pedro Mendes…
“I practice all the time in training and sometimes the coaches shout at me for losing a lot of balls but it’s something I like doing and I’ll always try to keep on doing it.”
At first it may seem ridiculous that a professional footballer spends time in training practicing shooting from halfway, but considering this is the second time he’s done it, and the inconsistent form of Liverpool’s strikers, we’re guessing that Benitez is only all too happy to let the lad keep at it.
