David Alaba is not at the same level as last year. Although he has shown great versatility as a defensive back, this season, when he has had to play as a winger, he has not performed as well as was expected of him
The defender has not reached the state he was in last year, and is not in good physical shape, also because he played with discomfort, and he did not want to stop to help the team
In this sense, Ancelotti and Bentos want to develop a tailored plan so that Alaba recovers his form during the World Cup break, it must be remembered that the Austrian will not participate in the Qatar event
These two months are supposed to be key for the player to be able to carry out a small pre-season, aiming to get fully fit and reach the crucial stage of the cycle in the best conditions
This plan has already been approved by Ancelotti and Bentos, and the player also agreed with the idea: he wants to help the team as much as he can. The Austrian is convinced that these two months off, due to the World Cup, could be very important to regain the level he showed last year
Get Alaba
Real Madrid’s coaching staff, led by Ancelotti, set their goal of bringing David Alaba back for the final months of the season. The Italian coach has made it clear on more than one occasion that the players who do not play in the World Cup will take center stage after him
For this reason, the Austrian’s absence from Qatar will make his presence in the team, in the first weeks after the World Cup, essential. But to get to that point, it’s important that the mini pre-season that will make it be a complete hit
