Zapping Our Mondial Ligue 1: the top 20 salaries for the 2020-2021 season
David Alaba is a versatile player that Ancelotti can certainly use in different positions. He made a big Euro as Austria’s leader playing first as a center-back and then as a left-back. However, it is in this position of full-back that he showed his best level. After all, it is his natural position and the one where he has played the most throughout his career.
The Spanish daily AS highlights his performances achieved during this European campaign and thinks that Ancelotti could be trying to establish him in this position at Real Madrid.

While he hardly played last season, Florentino Pérez’s recent statement on Marcelo’s future is formal, the Brazilian would be one of Real’s captains next season: “He won the law. It’s hard to find a side like Marcelo. I believe he and Roberto Carlos are the two best in history. “
But neither Marcelo nor Ferland Mendy, combine defensive efficiency and offensive strength as well. Even if he was recruited to replace Sergio Ramos in the axis of the defense, the qualities of David Alaba should allow him to play in several positions with Real Madrid. The arrival of a central defender cannot be ruled out either. Carlo Ancelotti will have to decide on the positioning of the Austrian, whom he has already played on the left during his time at Bayern Munich.
to summarize
David Alaba’s recent performances with Austria during the Euro could well push Carlo Ancelotti to review his starting XI at Real Madrid.
