It was his first experience abroad: \u201cIt was <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a significant <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">experience for me. New city, new culture. I get shocked when I <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">arrived<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to Anfield and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">felt fan&#8217;s passion. It is one the clubs with more sense of belonging nowadays. When I go abroad, I always meet Liverpool\u00b4s fans and they make me feel well and remember all the good things I experienced at their city\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Furthermore, Alonso explained that he supports all clubs wherein he has played, from Real Sociedad to Bayern Munich, taking into account Liverpool and Real Madrid as well: \u201cMy son supports them too\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Bayern Munich\u00b4s player considers that English and German football culture has few in common with the Spanish one: \u201cIn the German Bundesliga, for example, each weekend thousands of fans tend to travel to other cities in order to support their teams. German clubs have a close relationship with their fans and that is what it makes them more tangible\u201d.    \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xabi Alonso took part yesterday afternoon in a conference organised by the European Capital of Culture about how sports could influence in building an European identity.
