Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has claimed that Arne Slot trusts the players to execute his game plan every week. He claims that the players are confident going into matches every week as the manager has prepared them well.
Speaking to the club's official website, Alexander-Arnold stated that he is enjoying the football under Slot. He added that the Dutchman has got everything spot on in tactics.
He said:
"We’re just so kind of assured that we’re going to get results in games because we believe so much in (the) game plan. It’s always important, especially under a new manager, to have a relationship that works both ways, which is what we’ve got. He needs to believe in us that we’re good enough to carry out the game plans and go and get the results and understand and apply what he tells us to do."
“Likewise, us as players, we need to see that the style of play and the tactics and the game plans are working and will get us results. I think from the first few games we really got that and then from then on, when you’ve got that belief flowing both ways it’s always going to be a good journey," he added.
Arne Slot's Liverpool are on top of the Premier League table and have taken a four-point lead over Chelsea despite having a game in hand. They have also qualified for the UEFA Champions League knockout stage after winning all six matches this season.
Trent Alexander-Arnold on his role at Liverpool
Trent Alexander-Arnold has claimed that his main role on the pitch is to pass the ball to the forwards. He claimed that his inspirations are legendary midfielders like Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso.
He said:
“For me, it’s always been passing. I’ve always admired it, from a very young age. I was fortunate enough to grow up in an era where the passers of the ball were incredible, so I was able to grow up watching [Steven] Gerrard, [Xabi] Alonso, [David] Beckham, [Andrea] Pirlo, the Spanish legends as well within that."
Real Madrid are looking to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold next summer when his Liverpool contract expires. He has not signed a new deal and reports suggest contract talks are not advanced and the defender can sign a pre-contract with any club from next month.
