Some figures, just to give you an idea: 4 Champions Leagues, 4 trophies between the Club World Cups and Intercontinental Cups, 4 UEFA Super Cups, 10 German championships, 6 German Cups, 6 German Super Cups, 2 Spanish championships, 2 Spanish Super Cups, 1 Spanish Cup. David Alaba has won something in his career, always as a protagonist (with the exception of some recent injuries), always with his qualities as a leader.
Exactly what Udinese needs to fix the defense, which concedes a lot of goals and has lost a lot with the injury of Solet, who last season had been essential for the excellent journey of the Friulian team. So far, that's what more or less everyone knows, although these numbers read one after the other are really impressive. Then there are some details that not everyone knows.
Prince father and pop star sister
For example, David's father is a Nigerian crown prince from Akure. He moved to Vienna to study economics and took a completely different path, becoming a famous DJ and rapper. Vienna is where Alaba was born, on June 24, 1992. He has a Filipino mother, who in her youth had won a beauty contest in her country of origin.
Also in terms of music, Alaba's sister is called Rosa May and she is a singer with some fame. Her music is pop and afrobeat, she is two years younger than her brother and in 2016 she had a considerable success with her song "Love Me Right", which stayed at the top of the Austrian charts for several weeks. She has represented Austria in the "Europa Music Contest".
Passion for fashion
If his father and sister are musicians, David is a huge fashion enthusiast. He often uses his free days to make quick visits to the shows of various fashion weeks in Europe. This is also one of his favorite topics of conversation, in which he has included many of his teammates, both at Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. If there is no Fashion Week nearby, he is engaged in painting, so he, like the rest of the family, has art as a passion. In 2006, when he was still a boy, he had a trial at Reggina, which was close to a sensational move, but then the deal was not found. When he played for Austria Vienna, he was pursued for a long time by Inter, but then Bayern Munich's counter-offensive put an end to all the ambitions of the black and blue.
Why Udinese?
Now it seems like we have gone back 43 years, when an equally famous and extraordinary footballer arrived in Udine, the Brazilian Zico. At that time, the Friulian club spent a fortune and beat the competition of many big European clubs, while this time it is a zero-cost transfer. Real Madrid did not renew his contract, as part of Mourinho's revolution. Runjaic will certainly be happy, who has a team of great athletes, to which he now adds the class and experience of one of the most trophy-winning center-backs in Europe.
