On the eve of the first derby of the season, David Alaba previewed the encounter at the Cívitas Metropolitano on Realmadrid TV. It will be the 2nd Derby of Madrid for the Austrian. Last year he participated as a protagonist in the 2-0 victory in December and then was forced to miss in the 2nd Derby in May due to injury. He has also faced Atletico before as a Bayern player in Champions League and emerged victorious in three cases while having a draw and suffering two losses.
As he knows pretty well the importance of this game and the dimensions of this opponent, Alaba expressed himself in the following terms: “I’m sure it’ll be a special and tough game. Atlético Madrid are a great side, particularly at home. The derby is always a special game. It’s a meeting between two great teams and we can’t wait for kick-off. I want to really thank the fans. Tomorrow it’s about going all out”.
Team’s fine form: “We’ve started the season strongly and have to keep working hard to achieve many things. We’re not looking back and are only looking forward. We’ve got some great facilities at Real Madrid City and work really hard, both on the pitch and in the gym. That explains why we’re all in such good shape”.
Team’s fine defensive displays: “We’re working together as a team, from the forwards to the defedenders. We did really well last season and have to work just as hard as we did last season”.
About his personal form: “I’m feeling really good and I am keen to help the team. On a personal level, I want to work really hard every day and give my best”.
