After the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold for Real Madrid this summer, Arne Slot officially appointed Andy Robertson new vice-captain of Liverpool. While Mohamed Salah was expected to occupy this role and players like Alisson and Alexis Mac Allister would also have been envisaged, it was the 31 -year -old left side, also captain of the Scotland selection, who was chosen.
Arne Slot explained her decision in remarks collected by the Reds. “He played here for many years,” won the League twice. It was Virgil, Trent, Robbo and Mo (Salah) last season. Trent left, so there are many logical reasons for this decision. He is a very good player, he plays a lot of matches, he knows what it takes, he knows the culture of the club, but also the culture of the locker room. In addition to all the quality he shows in the field, he also plays an important role in the culture we have here in this club. ”
