In fact, before today’s Champions League clash between RB Salzburg and FC Bayern Munich (9pm CET), everything should revolve around football. And yet, yesterday there was only one issue: Bayern’s offensive rejection of David Alaba had visibly struck and surprised the ÖFB team player. A lucky player looks different. On Sunday, FC Bayern president Herbert Hainer confirmed that FC Bayern had withdrawn its offer to extend the contract. The Bavarians had previously set the Alaba leadership as an October 31 deadline.
“I found out from the news. I am disappointed that the internal details were made public here and that the club has not denied reports of incorrect contract sums in the past,” Alaba said yesterday.
The months of tug of war left their mark. Even with many Bayern fans, David Alaba is no longer in the best position despite his high level of sympathy. “I can absolutely understand and understand the opinions of the fans. But I also have a completely different view of the whole thing than outsiders.”
Bavaria’s reason for the offensive
Of course, there is a reason why Bayern now go on the offensive. David Alaba is no different than any other player whose contract is about to expire next season. In such situations, players always try to postpone contract negotiations for as long as possible. As soon as it is clear, for example, that a player is leaving the club, they will automatically be given less playing time. That might be less dramatic for David Alaba, but Bayern also have to plan. Recently, Bayern no longer had the authority to interpret poker for Alaba. You wanted to change that with this action. Furthermore, Bayern will probably also rely on the fact that really important directions like FC Barcelona or Real Madrid have not yet come up with concrete offers. The pressure on David Alaba definitely increased. And so far it didn’t seem like Alaba had already finished with FC Bayern.
Bayern coach Hansi Flick was upset by the publication of this issue yesterday. “I am anything but happy to have to deal with this problem in a week in which we have two very difficult games against Salzburg and Dortmund. I would be very happy if David stayed at Bayern beyond the season.”
Flick’s case for Alaba
He then made a plea to Alaba: “At this point I would like to say quite deliberately that David is a first-rate player and a great person. He is important on and off the field for the team, he embodies certain values and is someone who is always take the team with them. “

“The best team in the world” is coming
Yesterday, David Alaba and Niklas Süle’s positive corona test case kept Bayern reporters busy, today’s big game in the soccer Champions League against Austrian champion FC Salzburg (9pm, Sky) was almost outcast. But now sport should have a voice again.
The “Red Bulls” will need an exceptional performance to be able to take something accountable against the defending champion Munich, who celebrated 13 victories en suite in the “premier class”. “Bayern have the best team in the world and we have no weaknesses, but we come with our strength,” said Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch, who undoubtedly relies on his team to manage the highly decorated all-star team (market value 875.95 million euros) around Manuel Neuer. , Joshua Kimmich, Thomas Müller, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski and whatever his name is to tease.
“If we play bravely and aggressively, we always have a chance, no matter who we are against,” emphasized Marsch, who not only misses injured forward Patson Daka, but also the fans. Under normal circumstances, 30,000 would have arrived, the closure does not allow a single follower in the Red Bull Arena. The people of Munich know this bleak situation, they have been playing since March 8 (2-0 against Augsburg) at the Allianz Arena at home behind closed doors.
By the way, the triple champion last lost a match in the “queen class” on March 13, 2019. Liverpool FC beat Bayern 3-1 away.
