Ramón De Mon Reveals Alaba's Gesture to Pintus When He Was Substituted, Great Concern

One of the players who has captured the attention of Real Madrid's coaching staff recently is David Alaba. The Austrian footballer has returned to the merengue sports discipline after a lengthy injury and a bad relapse that, despite everything, did not prevent him from being a starter. His performance against Girona, just over 70 minutes of play, has left excellent impressions on all levels of the club.

The definitive recovery of the Austrian '4' seems to be going full steam ahead. However, the alerts regarding his physical condition and the fatigue that the European center-back may quickly accumulate have not ended, as revealed by Ramón Álvarez de Mon on social media.

The communicator and Real Madrid member went to the white stadium to see firsthand the clash between the merengue team and the Catalan club. In addition to commenting on the victory of Carlo Ancelotti's pupils, Ramón de Mon wanted to share "an anecdote I observed yesterday on the field" of great importance.

David Alaba was replaced by the Reggiolo coach around the 70th minute of the match, which seemed like a prearranged change. It's no wonder, as the merengue '4' was returning directly to the starting line-up after a notable physical relapse. His time resting in the Valdebebas infirmary seems to have been just a "scare" because the Austrian center-back appears to be in perfect condition.

Constant Improvement

"When Alaba is substituted, Pintus, who was warming up on the sideline with Endrick, stops and waits for a signal from Alaba from the bench". The specialized monitoring that the head of physical preparation does for David Alaba is not new: the footballer has gone through a long and complicated injury. That's why Antonio Pintus is very alert to any changes the Real Madrid center-back registers.

Especially because Carlo Ancelotti wants to rely on players like Alaba himself to solve one of the most striking dilemmas of the first team this season. The shortage of players in the center of defense has forced the Italian coach to rely on Aurélien Tchouaméni, who played there reluctantly and out of position.

Antonio Pintus's concern was quickly addressed, according to Ramón Álvarez de Mon. "The Austrian gave him the thumbs-up signal, confirming he was fine, and Pintus continued his work with Endrick", reveals the white communicator about this exchange.

The good impressions left by David Alaba bring him closer to full competitive clearance. The Austrian footballer returns to Carlo Ancelotti's squad at the best possible time, given the accumulation of essential commitments that the white calendar offers in the coming weeks.
