Real Madrid Confidencial David Alaba puts Xabi Alonso in a tough spot in 70 minutes, radical change
Alaba doesn't want to be left out and puts Xabi Alonso in a tough spot during this FIFA break
This season, a series of major changes are expected regarding what would be the starting eleven for the white team, as we have already seen in these first matches. However, it seems that there is a footballer who is very interested in becoming a starter again; we are referring to David Alaba. The Austrian player led his national team for the 70 minutes (70 minutos) he played in the most recent victory for number 4 in white.
In addition to this, he showed an outstanding level, being an important element in the team's offense. While this doesn't define 100% what his form is, it is excellent news for those who no longer trusted his level. Now he will have to try to earn the coach's trust by showing a similar level in training and matches.
Starts to regain confidence
The Austrian player had raised doubts after the ligament injury he suffered two seasons ago, when he couldn't return in the desired time and it was extended to more than a year. After that, he returned at a simply dreadful level, making it clear that this had taken a much greater toll than expected. Now, with the new coach in charge of the white team, things started to get complicated by not having elements like him.
Dean Huijsen, Militao, and Rüdiger seem to be ahead of the Austrian footballer, at least at the start of this season. However, by showing the level he had with his national team, things could change dramatically in defense with him as an important element. The experience he has gained over the years could be extremely important in leading a very young defense.
Alonso is extremely pleased that he seems to be regaining his level, seeing that he wasn't an element that counted at all. In this new scenario, things are looking very favorable for the Austrian footballer to even return to the starting eleven. However, he has to keep his football level in training to keep showing that he can be valuable as an important player.
A restart
After the injury and how complicated the recovery was, he now has the opportunity to completely restart the expectations for him in the team and among the fans. Now it will depend exclusively on his focus to see whether or not there will be improvement in this regard. Although Alonso will surely consider him more now, seeing that he can play 70 minutes (70 minutos).
