"Most Difficult Year of My Career": David Alaba Speaks Out

"Even before my injury, it was the strongest national team of all time," said Alaba according to a statement from the ÖFB on Thursday. Even after that, the ÖFB team achieved successes, clinching the group victory at the European Championship in Germany. However, for Austria's multiple Footballer of the Year, things went anything but smoothly, as he recalls "certainly the most difficult year of my career." Now he can play again - and he says: "I am totally grateful that I am back. I know who I am and who stands behind me, and that is God! My faith and my strong environment with my family played the decisive roles in these months. I also spoke publicly with hardly anyone." It remains to be hoped that future public conversations and interviews will revolve around a successful ÖFB participation in the World Cup: "A World Cup participation is the only thing I am still missing. It is a big dream that I definitely want to experience."
