When witnessing Trent Alexander-Arnold being whistled and screamed by the audience, it is unclear whether Arne Slot felt regretful when sending his student onto the field or not?
The Arsenal game is just a procedure for Liverpool, who have won the championship in the previous two rounds, so Slot does not necessarily have to put so many good players on the pitch after a season with many players being overwhelmed.
Many fans mourned Trent in the match against Arsenal not necessarily because of the disappointment with the 26-year-old's departure. Throughout the era of Jurgen Klopp and now Arne Slot, Alexander-Arnold has never been considered a secondary double.
When such a player is absent, The Kop fans cannot help but worry. When they look at Alexander-Arnold on the pitch and think about not having him for next season, it may be that worry that has turned into anger.
The Alexander-Arnold fans at the moment could continue to do that once Liverpool and Real Madrid face each other in the future.
If Alexander-Arnold had played in that match, he could have imagined the outrage from the Kopties, who sang his name in Anfield stands.
Anyway, the game has closed and Alexander-Arnold is preparing to wear the white shirt of Real Madrid. When he returns to Anfield or faces his former club at a stadium, Trent may want to score.
It's not revenge, sometimes it's just a desire to prove that you're okay wherever you are. As a professional player, everyone wants to give their all for the club. Alexander-Arnold scoring against Liverpool in the future is immediately possible.
What needs to be done for Liverpool's coaching staff at this time is to create the main psychological players of Anfield as their number 1 sanctuary, not the Bernabeu. Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid, a bigger and more magnificent destination, a better chance of winning a title..., is an undeniable attraction.
If any player wants to go to Real Madrid like Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's dressing room is definitely confused. Therefore, the love for the Merseyside red shirt should be what the coaching staff says every day to the players to avoid the talented bleeding right in their thoughts.
Another thing Liverpool's board need to consider is the contract terms of the stars. With his current talent, Trent Alexander-Arnold is being valued at 75 million Euros by Transfermarkt. The loss of this defender to Real Madrid was a huge defeat on the transfer table of The Kop.
Therefore, when talent like this appears, Liverpool needs to find a way to tie them carefully to avoid losing money. Players like Alexander-Arnold are also considered "homegrown" so when they sell them, the team will receive a net profit.
Finally, after those cries, is Trent Alexander-Arnold forgotten in the minds of Liverpool fans? The answer is no, even his name is always remembered as a great legend of this team.
Not many players in Liverpool's history, even Alexander-Arnold is the youngest to have won all collective titles. When mentioning Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, people will point out Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and definitely have a place for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
