Young talent – Following in Alaba’s footsteps at school and playing football

He goes to the same school as David Alaba, recently won his first major title and is also a very good basketball player. Like Austria’s football superstar, this talent has a family that supports him in all matters. The only difference: Rapid instead of Austria.

David Alaba is the best-known student at the Wittelsbachstraße sports school. In the “SMS2” located in the Prater there are still many talents. One of them is Eymen Özdil. The rapid kicker was recently the youngest player on the winning team of the “Krone” indoor cup, which Alaba once also won. Teacher Martin Groß says: “Eymen has a great character and shows top performances in all subjects. Karim Benzema is my role model.” “One of our greatest talents in 2011” Gerd Bauer, Eymen’s Rapid youth coach, says: “He is one of our greatest talents in 2011, a real winner. He can and still has to work on his fitness.” Eymen also gets it from basketball. Last week, as point guard, the 11-year-old led Kristina Dotter and Groß’s partner class 2a/2b to victory at the Vienna Basketball School Cup. Marco Stürzlinger, who organized the defense perfectly, and rebound king Koray Güldürücücü (the hall announcer particularly loved this name) also played well. Luca Wolf is also a graduate of Wittelsbachstraße. The 1.97 meter tall and very versatile player is going to college in North Carolina in the USA this summer, where everyone is really looking forward to him.
