Bayern Munich defender, David Alaba has come out to share why he is leaving the club after several years. He recently revealed that the decision is key because he has to leave his comfort zone.
According to him, he knows that it will be difficult to sever ties with the Bundesliga champions, but he has to finally move on after his successful stint in Germany.
He added that it is always difficult when things come to an end, and he’ll surely be quitting the club with a tear in his eye.
His words, “It’s always difficult when something comes to an end and it’s no secret that I’ve always really felt at home here.”
“Obviously, I’m leaving FC Bayern with a tear in my eye but also looking forward to my future at the same time.”
“It wasn’t a decision against the club, but I decided I’d like to do something new and take another step forward.”
“To grow, you have to leave your ‘comfort zone’ – and I deliberately put that word in quotation marks because it could possibly be misunderstood.”
“At FC Bayern, the expectations on the pitch are always extreme from the management, in the dressing room or from yourself.”
“I think that perhaps you have to go into the unknown to be able to mature again.”
“I can’t say whether you’ll see me cry but I definitely will inwardly.”
“I had to battle with my emotions recently when we had our last big photo shoot at the Allianz Arena.”
“I’m incredibly grateful for the support from our fans over all the years. I’ve always had the feeling of having a special connection to them.”
“One time at Frankfurt, a fan called me over to the fence, and after that we had eye contact at least after every game.”
“I could always imagine myself in the South Stand because I stood there a couple of times when I was a teenager.”
“It’s funny how it’s all turned out. I was a ball boy and, before games in the Champions League, also one of the boys who made waves with the round flag in the centre circle when the stars came out. And then, I was a player on the pitch.”
