The 4 positions Alaba will play under Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid's wildcard

After several weeks of uncertainty, everything indicates that David Alaba will be a relevant player at Real Madrid. Despite his discomfort and past injuries, the Austrian has surprised in training with his physical condition. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Alaba can play as a center-back, full-back, wing-back, and defensive midfielder.

Four positions that make him an extremely valuable player for Xabi Alonso looking ahead to next season. Given this versatility, Xabi plans to use Alaba as a wildcard in one of these roles. Although Alaba won't be a starter in the squad, his new role has given him significant importance within the team.

Since this is the last season of his contract, Alaba could say goodbye to Real Madrid on a positive note. This situation has presented itself as his last opportunity to shine. After the problems he has gone through, Alaba is ready to return to the field.

David Alaba's resurgence

After a decade as a Bayern Munich player, David Alaba arrived at Real Madrid during the summer of 2021. Despite his great performance during his first seasons, injuries diminished his level. Being out for almost 1 year (1 year) clearly affected his physical condition, as he suffered several discomforts throughout the last campaign.

This led him to be considered a more than likely departure for this summer transfer window. His 33 years (33 years) and high salary made him an unsustainable player for the team. However, instead of accepting his fate, Alaba focused on improving in every aspect.

The new role he will have within Real Madrid is perfect for him to remain relevant. In addition, his experience will continue to be helpful for the most important matches. Alaba, from being an almost certain departure, will be able to enjoy playing time during the season.

Real Madrid's ace up its sleeve

With only a few days left before the start of the season, Real Madrid is getting everything ready. Having to play first against WSG Tirol, this match is extremely important. Xabi Alonso, during this match, will be able to notice the work that remains to be done before the match against Osasuna.
