David Alaba Responds to Hinteregger’s Critique: Defending the Clever Game

Headline: “That’s not clever”: David Alaba counters Hinteregger criticism

Bayern Munich defender David Alaba has hit back at criticism from former Eintracht Frankfurt teammate Martin Hinteregger. Hinteregger, who retired from professional football in May, accused Alaba of being “disloyal” to Frankfurt after he left the club to join Real Madrid in 2021.

Alaba has denied the accusations, saying that he left Frankfurt for “footballing reasons” and that he had no intention of disrespecting the club or its fans.

In an interview with German newspaper Bild, Hinteregger said that Alaba had “broken the hearts of many Frankfurt fans” by leaving the club. He also accused Alaba of being “disloyal” and of not being a “team player”.

Alaba responded to Hinteregger’s comments in an interview with Spanish newspaper Marca. He said that he was “surprised and disappointed” by Hinteregger’s accusations, and that he had never intended to disrespect Frankfurt or its fans.

Alaba said that he left Frankfurt for “footballing reasons”. He said that he wanted to play for a club that could challenge for the Champions League title, and that he believed that Real Madrid was the best club for him.

Alaba also denied Hinteregger’s accusation that he was not a “team player”. He said that he had always been a “team player” at Frankfurt, and that he had always put the team’s interests first.

The war of words between Alaba and Hinteregger is likely to continue for some time. However, it is clear that Alaba is not going to let Hinteregger’s accusations go unanswered. Alaba has defended his decision to leave Frankfurt, and he has denied the accusations of disloyalty. It remains to be seen whether Hinteregger will respond to Alaba’s latest comments.
