Trent Alexander-Arnold experiences an ugly end in Liverpool. Pounding is hailing from frustrated and disappointed fans.
This has now been won, and he has now also ventilated the open secret of his fixed farewell. Only the proclamation of Real Madrid is open, but according to the transfer expert, only a matter of form. However, there will be no conciliatory end full of appreciation, as the “local boy” actually deserves according to its achievements. Instead, after 20 years of LFC, an ugly farewell is underway.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has his own mural in Liverpool
On Sunday there was applause from the ranks in Anfield, but the boos came to the fore loudly when the 26-year-old was substituted in the 67th minute at the draw against Arsenal (2: 2). Instead of Alexander-Arnold’s own fishing sang, the stadium “there is only one Conor Bradley”. As if one wanted to make it clear that you are already over him, although frustration and disappointment with his departure only becomes clearer.
There were also whistles in the shot of the shelter’s ball contacts. Maybe also unsettled this, Taa had a decisive part in the Gunners’ equalizer. First an inaccurate bad pass, then a positional error through which he picked up the side.
Carragher: Alexander-Arnold does not deserve a big farewell
Although he also considered the whistle concert inappropriate, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher found that Alexander-Arnold does not deserve an emotional farewell to his last game.
“I don’t think that at the end of the season you should give him a big deal or give him a microphone to give a big speech in front of the audience,” said Carragher at Sky Sports . He shouldn’t be substituted either: “He doesn’t need to get to the field. It does not have to be substituted.”
As a reason for his opinion, Carragher added that he finally decided on this step. If you leave a club based on your own decision, you do not earn an honor, the tenor said.
Apparently, 353 missions with 115 goal participations do not change that, not to mention two championships and a Henkelpott.
When winning the Champions League, it was Alexander-Arnold who initiated the historical comeback with the legendary quickly carried out corner against Barcelona. After the 0: 3 defeat in the 2019 semi-final in Catalonia, Liverpool won 4-0 in Angeld.
While coach Arne Slot dealt with the situation somewhat distant and spoke of freedom of expression, friend and winged tongue partner Andy Robertson admitted that the boos were annoyed.
Emotional Robertson words at the end
“There are a lot of emotions that are connected with it. In these moments, it is important that I don’t tell you what to feel, and you don’t tell me what to feel. Everything I can do is tell you how I feel,” the Scottish international pushed in advance.
“First of all, I am disappointed that I am losing my best friend. He is a great player and man. He made me a better player, and that comes from the bottom of my heart,” started Robertson, praising Alexander-Arnold’s achievements in the LFC jersey: “His legacy in this club is obvious. The trophies he won, the moments that he had in history.”
A magnificent farewell to these fans?
“It is an emotional decision. It was not an easy decision for Trent. Of course it is not. But he made the decision,” continued Robertson, who also announces his opinion on the whistles: “It is not nice when a friend is booed, that was not nice.”
It may actually make sense to refrain from a magnificent farewell to Taa, as Carragher suggests. However, not because he would not earn it, but rather because it could become even uglier due to the current level of frustration than it is at the moment. With a little distance you will also see in Liverpool how much you owe the man from your own city.
