In Spain, Real Madrid followers are convinced. After exploding in Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold will leave the banks of the Mersey next summer, free from any contract. A year after welcoming Kylian Mbappé under the same conditions, Casa Blanca would therefore be about to make a second very nice blow. At 26, TAA is indeed the most rated right side in Europe and therefore the worthy designated successor of Dani Carvajal (33 years old).
However, if the player is off to win the Premier League and is still in the race to raise a second Champions League, his performances do not go unnoticed in Spain. And last weekend, Liverpool may have dominated Manchester City at the Eitihad (2-0), the TAA record made people talk. The Reds player was eliminated eleven times by an opponent that day. A first league record since this statistic is calculated (2015/2016).
Defensive gaps pointed out
Jérémy Doku's favorite victim, Alexander-Arnold has once again demonstrated that he was a formidable offensive, but a limited defender. And in Madrid, his defensive gaps question. AS did not hesitate to relay the many criticisms received by TAA in England, including those of Roy Keane. “”Trent Alexander-Arnold was very bad in defense. He was content to defend like a schoolboy. He must do better. We are talking about sending it to Real Madrid. The way he defends is such that he will go to Tranmere Rovers after that. He must do better“He said last January, after 2-2 between Liverpool and Manchester United.
This concern on the Spanish side is, in any case, no coincidence. Since the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid has spent long months looking for its balance. Carlo Ancelotti has not ceased to claim from his offensive to come back to defend more often. The potential arrival of a side not knowing how to defend could therefore again put the Italian in front of a puzzle. One thing is certain, Trent Alexander-Arnold is warned. If he really wants to go to Real Madrid, he knows that his profile of offensive side will not be enough to fill his future coach.
