“How things will continue remains to be seen” – Alaba von Bayern caught on the wrong foot
According to club president Herbert Hainer, FC Bayern have broken off one-month contract negotiations with David Alaba. There is no longer an offer for Austria’s 28-year-old defense chief, Hainer said on Sunday night on “Blickpunkt Sport.”
At noon on Monday, Bayern manager Hansi Flick spoke for the first time about the current situation in the Alaba case. When asked about the termination of negotiations with the player, the coach said at the press conference prior to the Champions League game against FC Salzburg, which will take place on Tuesday evening: “To be honest: I’m anything but happy that we’re dealing with this issue. This week, with two big games coming up, I have to deal with them. I would be very happy if David stayed at Bayern beyond the season. He’s a great player and a great great person “.
Flick wants to keep the ball flat
Alaba embodies “certain values” and is “very popular” within the team, among the fans and at the club. And also: “I am convinced that, as in previous games, it will continue to offer this maximum performance.”
Flick declined to answer any more questions about the Alaba cause, instead turning to Atlético and the Austrian opponent, for whom he once worked as an assistant coach with Giovanni Trapattoni.
Praise as nervous as a student
To do this, however, the player had to answer questions from the German and Austrian reporters themselves. Alaba, who appeared as nervous as a student during an unannounced test during the press conference, was “surprised” by Bayern’s public withdrawal of his contract offer. He too “found out from the news and was informed, like you (the reporter, editor). That was, of course, a special situation,” said the defender. “No one has spoken to him” personally.
The 28-year-old Austrian declined to say anything about his future. “So how it goes remains to be seen. In the short time I have not been able to think about how to proceed. So take a look at it, ”he said. At the same time, Alaba emphasized: “I am a player who really enjoys playing for FC Bayern, I am still very happy to be part of this team.” He had no “contact” with other clubs.
False Statements About Wage Claims
At the same time, Alaba also made it clear that he was “disappointed” and also “hurt”, that alleged details of the negotiation had been repeatedly leaked to the public in recent months and that these “were not denied by the authorities.” He had also been portrayed as a person in recent months in a way that “does not correspond to the truth”, he was also able to “ensure that the sums in the room” were not correct.
More about the subject:
In view of the alleged salary claims of supposedly 20 million euros a year, he also “absolutely understands” the criticism from the fans: “From the point of view of an outside fan, I can understand and understand it. But I have a different perspective. “(Like / watson.de)
