Half a year after leaving Bayern, David Alaba talks about life in Madrid and football at Real. He compares the mentality of the two clubs – and explains why he has to make fewer headers in Spain.
The year 2022 did not start well for David Alaba. The 29-year-old lost his first game of the year with Real Madrid, 0-1 at small local rivals Getafe FC. It was the first loss in the league in three months. The team of coach Carlo Ancelotti is still the undisputed leader of the table, and the undisputed head of defense is still the Austrian Alaba, who naturally plays in the position of club hero Sergio Ramos and has also taken over his shirt number “4”.
