But Sunday afternoon at the Bernab\u00e9u was one of the most special in the life of <strong>David Alaba<\/strong>a footballer used to winning the most important titles, but who in the last three months has faced<strong> to the most complicated moment of his sporting life. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\"><strong>The cruciate injury, which marked 399 days on Sunday, has been an extreme test for Alaba&#8217;s spirit.<\/strong>a temperate footballer, not fond of excesses on and off the playing fields, discreet and close in his dealings with those around him on a daily basis. A day to day that, since December 2023, has had more to do with <strong>doctors, physiotherapists and recoverers<\/strong> that with the ball, the center of the world for any footballer&#8230; <\/p>\n<figure><figcaption itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span>He received the affection of all his teammates after defending the club&#8217;s shirt again.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\"><strong>The serious injury suffered 13 months ago<\/strong> in a game with hardly any history, in a play that seemed like just another one, <strong>has tested Alaba&#8217;s character<\/strong>who has gone through every possible state of mind during his long and complicated recovery. <strong>There was no shortage of doubts, many doubts, justified by the seriousness of the mishap<\/strong>who harassed him especially in the first days after the unfortunate action in which his knee creaked.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I am very happy. It&#8217;s a special day for me. I thank the fans. I have waited a long time for this moment because last year was very hard and long. I have worked very hard every day waiting for this moment. Coming home has been very nice<\/p>\n<p><span>David Alaba, Real Madrid player<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Doubts, relapses, stops when the process seemed to accelerate, also days of happiness after a session with good feelings. But the fear was always there, on the surface. <strong>In the locker room they remember how Alaba went down to the locker room, completely distraught, when Militao suffered his second cruciate injury, at the beginning of December, in a shot attempt in the League match against Osasuna.<\/strong>. He was one of the first to reach the locker room (he was watching the game in the Bernab\u00e9u players&#8217; box) to support his teammate, with whom he formed a duo in the center of defense in the successful campaign.<strong> 21-22<\/strong>with doublet <strong>Champions-League<\/strong>. A couple who, since then, have been blown up due to injuries.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">When Mllitao&#8217;s second injury arrived, Alaba was already heading into the final stretch of his recovery, although Madrid tried to take the pressure off him. &#8220;<strong>There are no injuries, there are injuries<\/strong>&#8220;, they said from the player&#8217;s entourage when he asked about the date for his return. The same thing that slips now when it comes to predicting a deadline for his return to the starting eleven, which would be a relief for <strong>Ancelotti <\/strong>due to the shortage of center backs in the squad.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe team has helped me a lot and without my teammates, the medical staff, the physios and the rehabilitation workers it would have been harder. They have helped me a lot every day by working very hard every day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">David Alaba&#8217;s long journey reached port last Sunday, just a few minutes before the end of Madrid-Las Palmas. <strong>The Bernab\u00e9u applauded him warmly when he went out to warm up and exploded when he stepped onto the pitch again dressed as a Madrid footballer.<\/strong>. On the same grass he received hugs from his teammates, even the newest ones, like <strong>Bellingham <\/strong>either <strong>Mbappe<\/strong>. Everyone in that locker room knows what their teammate has been through. <strong>Also Florentino P\u00e9rez and Ancelotti,<\/strong> who were especially affectionate with him in the locker room, when the team was celebrating the victory that gave them the lead. <\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\"><strong>And now? Alaba still has to be patient. The idea is to add minutes, gain sensations and, above all, regain confidence<\/strong>. Ancelotti is counting on him as that winter signing that seems unlikely to arrive from the market, unless there is a turn in the negotiations with him. <strong>Liverpool <\/strong>by <strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/strong>. But little by little, without rushing, with as much pause as possible. The irruption of <strong>Raul Asencio<\/strong> It gives you room to maneuver. And we cannot forget the risk of relapse or associated injuries that this type of injury entails. <strong>The Militao precedent is, in this sense, a serious wake-up call.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SANTIAGO SIGUERO Updated 01\/21\/2025 &#8211; 12:37CET He did not score, he did not assist&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-la-liga-breaking-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
