giving his all while at Bayern but was just unlucky about how his career panned out owing mostly to injuries. He credited him as an important player and expressed his sadness at seeing him leave.“In the last few years he was bit unlucky with his injuries,” Alaba said to Goal“But I think every time he was on the pitch he always tried to give his best. His statistics show us that he was an important player for us.”Alaba revealed Gotze was “one of his closest friends” at Bayern and another player who he is also close with is Franck Ribery, who he says has played an important role in his development.He continued: “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.”“And that’s my place still today. He always tried to help me – whether on or off the pitch.”Bayern are preparing for the first International Champions Cup clash against AC Milan and Alaba says he can't wait to get going in the United States.“I’m looking forward to our US tour, I like it to be in America,” said Alaba. “And we New York, Chicago and Charlotte, we visit very cool cities. The people are always very friendly there.”He also lavished praise on both Ronaldo and Messi: “I like them both. Cristiano Ronaldo works very hard, day by day, hour by hour, for his success. And Messi? Messi his not human with the ball.”
