Jeremie Frimpong has delivered a glowing assessment of Xabi Alonso — highlighting exactly why the Spaniard is so highly regarded as a coach.
Speaking about his experience, Frimpong made it clear just how much impact Alonso has had on his game.
“He Knows What’s Best For You”
Frimpong pointed to Alonso’s deep understanding of football as a key strength:
“He is a great player, you know, legend. He knows the game. If you have a coach like him, you know, you have to listen.”
It’s the kind of praise that underlines Alonso’s authority — not just as a manager, but as someone players instantly respect.
Experience That Makes The Difference
Having played at the highest level, Alonso’s experience is something Frimpong believes sets him apart:
“He knows what’s best for you. He’s seen a lot of players that are good, so he’s got all the experiences.”
That insight allows him to:
Develop players Improve decision-making Maximise individual strengths
“He Knew How To Use Me”
Perhaps the most telling part of Frimpong’s comments was how quickly Alonso understood his game:
“When he first came, he just knew how to use me. He knew I could help the team a lot with my speed and my ability to get past people.”
That ability to immediately identify a player’s strengths is a huge asset for any top manager.
Attention To Detail
Frimpong also highlighted the finer details Alonso focuses on:
“Just practicing your final third balls, when to run so you are not offside, things like this.”
It shows a coach who is:
Detail-oriented Focused on improvement Constantly working to elevate his players
