Zapping World Eleven TOP 10: The most profitable transfers in history
Last summer, Real Madrid managed to sign David Alaba for free from Bayern Munich. To say that the Austrian quickly imposed himself is an understatement as he is an indisputable holder in the mind of Carlo Ancelotti. Interviewed by the German newspaper Picturethe former Bavarian returned to various subjects including the incredible season of Karim Benzema or the future of his former teammate, Robert Lewandowski, announced at the rival, FC Barcelona.
On Karim Benzema
“I think there’s not much debate at the moment, it’s the best nine in the world. What he’s doing this season is crazy. He was already a world-class player, but he decided to go even further. We are all happy to have him in the team. A hat-trick in the round of 16 and another in the quarter-finals of the Champions League… That speaks for itself. I hope this is not his last season.
On Lewandowski at Barca
“It’s his decision and I’m sure he’ll do the right thing. What I can say for sure is that there’s probably no defender out there who would like to play against him.”
On his reunion with Guardiola
“We haven’t been in contact lately, but it will be good to see him again. We had a great time together at Bayern. But this time it will be about disturbing him (in the C1 semi-final against Manchester City)”.
On his best career memories
“At the end of the day, titles are above everything. But, I also have good memories like the 8-2 victory against Barcelona. It was a game for the history books”.
On his worst career memories
“The semi-final (against Real Madrid) and the final (against Chelsea) of the Champions League in 2012, maybe. I got a yellow card in the semi-final, which prohibited me from playing the final. I was bitter”.
to summarize
David Alaba did not fail to praise his current teammate Karim Benzema and spoke about the future of his former, Robert Lewandowski. He also spoke of his upcoming reunion with Pep Guardiola, in the C1 semi-final against Manchester City.
