Real Madrid star Xabi Alonso admits he's a big fan of Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick.
Xabi feels Carrick deserves more credit for making United "tick".
"In English football sometimes it seems hard for people to rate those who instead of shining themselves make the team work as a collective.
"For example, Michael Carrick is a player who makes those around him play, regardless of the fact that maybe he is not the player that shines the most individually. 'It is more important to find players who can build a team rather than simply finding two very good players and putting them in the team even if they don't play so well together.
"I mentioned Carrick, but there's Paul Scholes too - another player who maybe hasn't had the career in the national team that he had at United. It's not just about having lots of good players. Maybe you shouldn't pick the best players but pick the ones that go together best," he told the Daily Mail.
