David Alaba

[Yannik]

Goalkeepers do that to minimize the risk. If you get a pass there, usually no back pass can go in, no matter if the pitch or the pass is bad, the gk fails to control the ball etc.
In this case the keeper should have never passed to Alaba in the first place. Then both did what they are accustomed to. The keeper to make himself available besides the goal and Alaba to think he has Neuer behind him who is able to control any ball in any situation.

yeah, I played CB for some time and what I learned was that you always backpass to the goalposts (to the one where the keeper is of course) and never to the middle.

Bayern?

Bayern sounds like a lucky team to you?

Another hint: It happened during Rijkaard's period at Barca.

Horrible game against Portugal last night.

He was pathetic. The worst player on the pitch by far. Lost the ball as soon as he got it.

should just stick to Leftback, he's no CAM or playmaker, neither is he a Central defender or anything, Leftback worldclass, CDM very good, rest bad or average.

Don't think it helps he barely plays in midfield for his club to then play it for his country seems odd

Alaba mentions Ronaldo, Messi and Theo Walcott as the toughest players he has ever faced
