This Friday, Arne Slot appeared in front of the press. He was notably questioned about the case of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will live his last match in the Mersey club before joining Real Madrid. “I think I said it several times: I speak a lot to most players, and especially if the circumstances justify it. In the case of Trent, I speak more than with Virgil. I speak to Trent every day and, combined with our victories, it creates a different link with him. He was also often present in my office during the pre-season, for other reasons, and now he is present again. ”
He added: “I explained several things in pre-season on why he was in my office … He said himself, he will leave anyway, so it may be the first gift I can give to Xabi Alonso (if Taa does not play this weekend, editor's note) … I was not completely satisfied with every minute he spent on the training ground. “In my opinion, there were times when he could have done better, to say the least. I told him that he was a much better defender than we think, but we don't always show him. ” He may not have the opportunity to be appreciated at its fair value in Spain.
