2 août Xabi Alonso - August, 2nd 2006It was my first day back at Melwood (Liverpool's training ground) this morning after the World Cup and the summer holidays. Although today was a day for seeing the doctor and undergoing the normal pre-season physical tests rather than actually doing any real training or any ball work (and despite the fact that the England players are not back yet), everyone was really enthusiastic and excitedly looking forward to the season ahead.
They were also, of course, still looking back on the world cup. Naturally enough when the players get together for the first time in a while, even those who didn’t play in the tournament end up talking about it: they may not have been there, but they saw it on television just like fans from all over the world. Everyone wants to pick over the bones of Germany 2006.
Not that we have long to do so: we're already focused on the season ahead with Liverpool. Ever since Rafa Benítez has arrived at the club we have progressed season by season. In the first year we won the European Cup, which was a fantastic start. In the second, we won the FA Cup and, just as importantly, really closed the gap on Chelsea in the league. This year, Rafa's third, we know that we have to continue improving. We have brought some very exciting new players and we're confident that we can maintain our progression. That's the best way to challenge for the trophies that define the club.
