Trent Alexander -Arnold is Leaving FC Liverpool After 20 Years and Is Being Sharply Criticized for IT – Now There are Disapproving Words from his own coach.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has received a lot of criticism in recent weeks, primarily from his own fans. But now coach Arne Slot has also expressed his dissatisfaction.
While the Reds supporters are primarily critical of their defender’s impending free transfer, Slot criticized the departing professional’s lack of attitude.
Weak Performanances Disappoint
“I wasn’t completely satisfied with every single minute he was on the training ground,” the coach said at the press conference before Sunday’s game against Crystal Palace.
“To Say the Least”: Harsh Words to Liverpool Star
Then he gave the English international, who is expected to move to Real Madrid, a few unmistakable words: “In my opinion, there were certain moments where he could have done more, to say the least.”
Slot continued: “I told him that he is a much better defender than people think, but he doesn’t always show it.”
Against Brighton, the master coach left Alexander-Arnold on the bench for the entire game. Against Arsenal he was only allowed to play for 23 minutes. And an appearance in the final game of the season against Crystal Palace is also questionable.
“He’s leaving anyway, so why not?” Slot said about the 26-year-old’s bench existence: “It could be the first gift I can give to Xabi Alonso.” Background: The Alonso mentioned should be presented shortly as the new Madrid coach.
