David Alaba

I grew up Seventh Day Adventist.

I know that in football everything can go very quickly.

I want to be successful with the national team and Bayern.

Munich is a great place for me.

Everybody who has ever played for Bayern knows how good this club is for its players. We are all grateful to be playing for Bayern.

A move to England? I understand why a lot of players are moving there. It's one of the best leagues in the world. But the same goes for the Bundesliga.

Could I stay at Bayern my entire career? I'm not the type of person who looks that far ahead. I am setting short-term goals instead.

Messi is not human with the ball.

Cristiano Ronaldo works very hard, day by day, hour by hour, for his success.

At the age of 16, when I had my first traning session with the first-team squad, I came into the cabin and there stood Ribery and he said: 'Come here, sit down. Take the locker beside me.'

When we talk about racists, first, racists still exist on this earth. They're in Europe and in Austria and Germany where we play, in Italy. I've heard a lot of things and also have my own experience with that. We don't have space for this, especially in football, but also just on the Earth.

The season lasts a long time, and we need not only a high-level squad but also a big squad.

I know the Premier League very well because I followed it a lot when I was younger.

Patrick Vieira was one of my favourite players.

When you've been Arsenal fan as a kid you will be one your whole life in some way.

I can imagine trying something else but I really feel very comfortable at Bayern. Every year there a new challenges and new objectives and the pressure will always be there.

I try to help the team.

Look, I try to focus on the essentials, on the games. It is very good for me.
