Soccer - Criticism in Spain of Real's Alaba: "A central problem"
Former Bayern professional David Alaba has come in for criticism following Real Madrid's win at Union Berlin. "Alaba, a central problem for Madrid", wrote the Spanish sports newspaper Mundo Deportivo after the performance of the Real Madrid defender in the 3-2 win on Tuesday evening.
The 31-year-old Austrian had made a serious mistake when Kevin Volland gave Berlin the lead in stoppage time of the first half, unintentionally feeding the ball to the Union attacker: His ricochet landed right in Volland's path. Marca" wrote of a "terrible" attempt to clear the ball backwards. Alaba did not always look confident in other situations either. In the 71st minute, coach Carlo Ancelotti replaced him and brought on Antonio Rüdiger.
"He already suffered a significant drop in performance last season, and this season he is continuing this trend with mistakes that are atypical for a defender of the quality of an Austrian," continued Mundo deportivo. Alaba did not comment on his performance after the game.
