You were known at Bayern for being a good communicator, how did you do at Real Madrid?
Alaba: “From the first day, I have had a lot of communication with my teammates on the court, which is part of my game and what I ask of myself.”
How is your Spanish?
Alaba: “Now I’m pretty good at Spanish on the pitch, and I’ve been working hard to learn the language for the first few weeks. It’s very important for me to learn the basics quickly and now I can work with Teammates communicate well, but my Spanish may not be good enough for an interview.”
At Real Madrid, who will call the shots on the pitch other than you?
Alaba: “In our case, the task is shared by several players: Modric, Benzema and Kroos will all be responsible for the communication.”
What do you think of Casemiro joining Manchester United?
Alaba: “He is in a similar situation to me a year ago, which is why we talk regarding it a lot. After nine years at Real Madrid, he is looking for a new challenge and I wish him all the best.”
You worked with Ancelotti at Bayern, how has things changed now?
Alaba: “He still has the same values as a person and a coach, he still has the same values, maybe there have been some changes in the way he trains and the way he plays.”
On the relationship with Hoeness
Alaba: “I came to Munich when I was 16 and I had a very special relationship with him right from the start, he often called me into his office to give me advice or requests. I remember him telling me: ‘ I want you to take more responsibility on the pitch and in the dressing room’. I was always able to communicate with him very honestly, he helped me a lot and for me he was a great source of inspiration.”
What was the farewell like last summer?
Alaba: “After the last game, I said goodbye to Hoeness and Rummenigge in the dressing room of the stadium. After such a successful time together, it is natural to have a lot of emotions.”
Still in touch with Sally?
Alaba: “No, we don’t have any contact now. Everything is fine between me and Bayern, I always prefer to look forward rather than backward.”
What kind of music do you like to listen to now?
Alaba: “Mostly hip-hop, R&B and some Kito music.”
Who is the DJ in the Real Madrid dressing room? What music will he play?
Alaba: “Benzema, he plays all kinds of music.”
Will you return to Austria in the future?
Alaba: “In my opinion, I still have a long way to go, I don’t think that far into the future, and I still don’t know what will happen in a few years or when my career will end.”
