'Legend' Gerrard and 'teacher' Alonso: Thiago chooses who he'd play with in midfield

“I have already played with Xabi Alonso,” Thiago said during a special Q&A with Liverpool fans via the club's social media. “I can tick it and say I have played with him.

“With Xabi, Xabi is a friend, a team-mate and a teacher for me while we were playing together at Bayern and the national team. I like him a lot and respect him as a player, as a person and now as a coach.

“I have massive respect for the story of Steven Gerrard at this club. He changed the club as well. I look forward to meeting him. Steven Gerrard is a legend. If I had played alongside him, it would have been a way to learn more football.”

So, who would Thiago choose to play alongside? He gives the right answer.

“The midfield is so big, I can pick both,” Thiago said. “We can play with three midfielders.

“They were legends here at this club, they were legends in football. They were machines. They were amazing football players.”

You can only wonder how strong the midfield consisting of these three players would've been if they all were at their peak.

We're yet to see the best of Thiago who has had his fair share of injuries since arriving at Anfield, but some people who know football will tell you that the Spaniard could be as skilful as both Gerrard and Alonso.
