Alonso has been strongly linked with a summer move to Juventus, but insists he is currently focusing on Spain's European challenge.

"I know there is interest (from Juventus)," he told El Mundo Deportivo. "But right now I not going to talk about that because there is enough to think about here with the national team."

Alonso is one of several English-based players called up by Spain for Euro 2008 and insists recent press accusations that they cannot adapt to their national side's style of play are well wide of the mark.

"It's not the first time we have played with the national team, so we must have done something good at some point," he said.

"When one of us who plays in England has a good game, people won't say anything.

"Those of us playing in England are just as prepared as those playing in Spain."

Alonso admits Liverpool's direct style is totally different to Spain's passing game, but he feels comfortable in both systems.

"Without a doubt, with Liverpool we use a more direct game and in very few passes try to find the opposition goal, but I don't feel uncomfortable in a passing side," he said.
