Xabi Alonso admits playing with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has helped him appreciate the need for the spectacular tackle.
Xabi told liverpoolfc.tv: "It's not just for him. Sometimes that kind of last-ditch tackle can get the crowd excited and you get a push from that. It's important to play with that psychological side of the game, but it depends on the quality of the player.
"Stevie is great when he makes those kind of tackles, Carra and Mascherano, too. With me it's different. To feel Anfield on your back, the noise, it's such a huge feeling, especially on the big nights. You're automatically filled with that passionate energy and you always feel much better. It's something Anfield provides more than any other stadium in the world."
