David Alaba is already a new Real Madrid player. The 28-year-old Austrian defender underpins the Madrid defense with an internationally contrasted profile that comes to put in check the Varane-Ramos pair that has been the dominant one in recent seasons.
In this way, Real Madrid is betting on a technical and physical player who, at Bayern Munich, has shown great virtues in defense and also in attack. The Austrian has a route, good ball output and even a great hit from a direct free kick.
Multipurpose
But without a doubt, his great virtue is the ability he has to occupy various positions in the team's scheme. The Austrian, with a left leg, is capable of playing in any position on the defense except the right-back. In his early days in Munich he was a left-handed winger until he became a central defender, offering great defensive security.
He is even capable of playing as a defensive midfielder or inside court with a reserved court and with a tendency more to defense than to attack. Undoubtedly. It is an addition that helps Real Madrid to be stronger and that, due to its cost (free) is one of the best operations that the white team is reminded of.
