David Alaba knows how to impress after just one week at Real Madrid and could act as a free-kick taker for Los Blancos in the future.
A week after his presentation at Real Madrid, new signing David Alaba is expected to play an important role at Los Blancos. As the Brand reported, the 29-year-old Austrian could act as a free-kick taker in the future.
Accordingly, Alaba thrilled with his direct free kicks in the first week of training – a task that club legends such as Sergio Ramos and superstar Cristiano Ronaldo had taken on in the past.
Alaba has better free kick statistics than Ronaldo
According to statistics, Alaba is said to have converted ten of his 124 free kicks so far in his career – and thus need an average of 12.4 attempts per goal. This statistic is therefore even better than that of CR7 at Real Madrid (13.5).
Alaba moved from Bayern Munich to the Spanish record champions this summer and has signed a long-term contract there until 2026. He receives number 4 from Ramos, who went to PSG.
