Stevie and Carra select squads for All-Star charity game
Alonso, who returns to Liverpool on Sunday when he lines up for the All Stars charity match on Sunday, will be on skipper Steven Gerrard's team, along with former Reds heroes Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres.
And the Bayern Munich midfielder admits he is glad he is on Gerrard's team for the occasion.
"I’m glad I’m in Stevie’s team because I’m pretty sure Carra will be a terrible manager," Alonso told LFC TV.
"So I’d rather be in Stevie’s team and it’s going to be a great game and we are going to have great fun.

Xabi Alonso says Jamie Carragher would be a terrible manager
The 33-year-old left Liverpool in 2009 after making his £30million move to Real Madrid, however the Spain international says he has fond memories of his time at Anfield.
"It’s going to be good to see friends who we have been apart from for a few years, so it’s going to be really nice going back to the stadium.
"For five years I haven’t had the chance to go back there. I spent five great years there and have great memories of those years," said Alonso.
"We had wonderful nights at Anfield. Of course it’s going to be a special game for us and Stevie, and it’s for a great cause. It has all of the ingredients to be special for everyone."
