Xabi Alonso shares a hairdresser with a star from his Real Madrid

The Real Madrid star who has been responsible for choosing a hairdresser for Xabi Alonso

One of Xabi Alonso's most notable characteristics has always been his poise and elegance. Always knowing the best way to dress, Xabi has always placed great importance on his appearance. That's why, when he needed a haircut and as we know at Defensa Central, Xabi turned to Valverde to recommend one.

The Uruguayan midfielder, without hesitation, recommended Alejandro Oliva, who is his trusted barber. Owner of La Barbería de Oliva, Alejandro revealed that he was surprised to receive a message from Xabi Alonso. It's no wonder, since being contacted by Real Madrid's coach is not considered normal.

Despite the pressure of cutting the Basque coach's hair, Alejandro made it clear that his visit was pleasant. He also revealed that Xabi made it clear to him that he will be his trusted barber whenever he's in Madrid. An event that, without a doubt, will be remembered by Alejandro Oliva for the rest of his life.

Xabi Alonso's barber

Being Real Madrid's coach is one of the most demanding and exhausting jobs in the world. Having to work to keep the club at the top, there are times when there's not much free time. That's why a visit to the barber is almost as important as planning the line-up for a Champions League match.

In Xabi Alonso's case, who has always cared about his appearance, a visit to the barber is a priority. Because of this, the fact that he has managed to find a trusted one has been important for him. In addition to the experience shared by Alejandro Oliva, Xabi Alonso's visit made another situation clear.

Of all Real Madrid's players, Xabi specifically turned to Valverde to recommend his own. This makes clear the great relationship and trust between the Uruguayan player and the Spanish coach. Now, already having a trusted barber, Xabi Alonso doesn't have to worry about this in the future, as long as he's in Madrid.

Appearances matter

In a sport that has ever-increasing exposure, having a great appearance is a priority. Although players and coaches have sometimes had problems with this, this is not the case for Xabi Alonso. The Basque coach, even during his time as a footballer, has always kept an impeccable and elegant appearance.
