David Alaba
DBasia.news – Liverpool will await the arrival of Bayern Munchen in the first leg of the Champions League top 16 at Anfield Stadium, Wednesday (20/2) early dawn. An exciting duel will happen. Especially between Bayern defender, David Alaba with Liverpool’s goal machine, Mohamed Salah.
Alaba plays as left back and Salah usually operates as a right-wing striker, although Jurgen Klopp is now more often placed in the center as a central striker. However, Mo Salah still often attacks on the left side of the opponent’s defense.
Against Salah, who this season has scored 20 goals for Liverpool and the previous season scored 44 goals, Alaba claimed to not be worried. The confidence of the Austrian player came because as he had faced a fast player like Mo Salah, which is Kylian Mbappe.
“One of the best players in the world. He is fast, but I have played against fast players like Mbappe. I know from experience that it is crucial for me to use my best power,” says Alaba.
The confidence in Alaba to terminate Liverpool’s biggest threat also came from Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, President of Bayern.
“No doubt it will be a key duel (Liverpool and Bayern match). I really believe in David, he is one of the best left-backs of the world. I believe he can and will control Salah,” Rummenigge added.
