There is trouble between Arne Slot and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Replaced in the 72nd minute by Conor Bradley, the English full-back did not crack a smile until his return to the locker room despite Liverpool’s victory (2-0) against Brentford. Frustrated at having been taken off during the match, the 25-year-old player was even challenged at the end of the match by the Dutch coach who came to have a few words with him, while Arnold seemed to be pouting on the bench.
In a press conference, the new Reds coach returned to this event. “All players want to play 90 minutes. But I don’t think the players who were on the bench were as happy with the choices I made.”. The 45-year-old technician does not seem to give in to the whims of Alexander-Arnold, who was comforted by Diogo Jota after the match. In Liverpool, the former Feyenoord coach will therefore have to face a new challenge, the management of the egos of his stars.
