Arne Slot has addressed the criticism surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s recent performances, emphasizing team dynamics over individual blame.
London: Recently, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been under fire for his defensive play. But Arne Slot, Liverpool’s boss, isn’t buying into the theory that teams are targeting him specifically.
Trent’s been in the news a lot, especially with rumors linking him to Real Madrid. His contract is up soon, and he can chat with other clubs about a move.
Fans are getting a bit restless, feeling like he’s not fully committed. His recent performances haven’t helped either. In the match against Manchester United, it looked like the opposing coach had a plan to exploit Trent’s defensive weaknesses.
However, Slot pushed back on the idea that teams are focusing on Trent. He pointed out that it’s not just about one player. “If it’s a small difference, we need to look at how we’re conceding goals overall,” he said.
He acknowledged the spotlight on Trent but praised his effort in the last part of the game, noting how the fans reacted positively. It seems like Slot wants to shift the focus back to the team rather than just one player.
