Marc Miralles (Terrassa, 1997) and Álex Alonso (Santander, 1999) make a good team. One is more reflective and the other has more flair. They may seem different but they share many things. Under 30 years old, both are the captains of the Spanish field hockey team. A responsibility in a sport where, often, the captains are part of established hockey dynasties. Catalan families like the Tubau, Amat, or Freixa have produced three or four generations of international players. This is not the case for these two players. Marc's father played water polo in Terrassa. And the Alonsos used the facilities of a sports club in Santander without wanting to compete. Nevertheless, their sons fell in love with field hockey.
