On episode 104 of our podcast DAB | Audio evidence Sky expert Alfred Tatar spoke about the ÖFB team, among other things. David Alaba’s role in the national team was also a big topic.
With a win, a draw and a clear defeat, the ÖFB team’s record after the first three qualifying matches for the World Cup is quite mixed. Especially the 0: 4 applause against Denmark was clear. After three laps, you are five points behind leader Denmark.
Above all, Captain David Alaba’s role in the ÖFB team has sparked discussions recently. Team boss Franco Foda let Bayern’s defensive boss play a different position in each match. At 2-2 in Scotland, Alaba played in five midfields down the left. In the victory against the Faroe Islands, the 28-year-old played in midfield. In the home loss to Denmark, David Alaba was buzzing down the left wing, completely incomprehensible to Sky expert Alfred Tatar: “Praise? I don’t know why Alaba is back at the forefront in this area where he was yesterday. Nothing was learned from Koller’s mistake, where he was once allowed to play center forward. Praise is not a creative mind. On the contrary, I think it just inhibits our offensive play in this front zone.“
When asked what would be the best position for David Alaba in the national team, Tatar said: “If you take a poll, you will get 99.9% of the response: center back / left side. Why it does not act in this position is another question. The team leader decides that. “
Above all, Alfred Tatar misses creativity in the ÖFB game. “Arnautovic would be a creative mindTatar says. Leipzig captain Marcel Sabitzer was also unable to convince the 58-year-old: “Sabitzer actually only works in Leipzig. I haven’t seen the national team in a long time that they put their stamp on the game creatively.“
In general, Alfred Tatar thinks that “football is different today”. “Therefore, we no longer have creative minds that one day do things that are out of the ordinary.. “
