They ask me to describe Don Alfredo in a few lines, but it seems almost blasphemous to me! Is it not a mortal sin to summarize the divine? Perhaps it is.

Don Alfredo is total football; he is a full-back, a midfielder, an inside forward, a winger, and a coach on the field. He possesses a unique brain and an intelligence far superior to that of any player.
With ice in his veins, he trots across the pitch like an incarnate deity, always making the right choice.
He sees everything beforehand and sees it well! He is generous and altruistic, lacking the flair of his compatriot Maradona or the overwhelming power of Pelé, but he equals them in completeness, tenacity, and wholeness.

He leads Real Madrid to celestial heights never before reached, and it is a pity that his national career did not follow such a trajectory. Yet, this does not diminish the esteem in which he is held. With the Hungarian Puskás, he forms a formidable duo, the greatest ever alongside Pelé and Garrincha.
