Not so Shabby Alonso has retired.

Played with his head up and didn't need to look at the ball to control and pass it. whatever the speed or tightness of the situation he was in. Simple enough, and all the great players do it - but watch how many, even in the Prem, can not.

 

The funny thing is that he didn't even need to look up because he's one of those players who had a mental picture of the whole pitch.
