David Alaba has opened a new front inside the Real Madrid dressing room at a crucial moment of the season.
The Austrian center back does not accept the secondary role he has been given and has demanded direct clarification from the coach.
Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa is working against time to maintain internal stability. Having resolved other sources of dissatisfaction, he must now manage the discontent of one of the group's most experienced players.
According to the report of Sports, David Alaba believes he deserves more prominence. The defender thinks his career should be reflected in more minutes on the pitch.
The Real Madrid coach sees the situation differently. Arbeloa prioritizes current form and physical stamina, factors that have penalized the Austrian international in recent seasons.
In the last 11 games, Alaba has played just 65 minutes in five matches, a figure that highlights his limited role.
His dissatisfaction does not compare to that of some of the club's historical figures, but it still creates a new source of tension in the dressing room.
David Alaba's recent career has been plagued by numerous misfortunes. Since the 2021/22 season, he has suffered 16 injuries.
In total, he has been absent for 677 days and has missed 129 matches between Real Madrid and his national team, a figure that significantly affects any sports analysis.
The most serious injury was a torn cruciate ligament in the 2023/24 season. He was out for 384 days and missed 72 official matches./Telegrafi/
