Liverpool’s ‘Ugly Duck’ Trent Alexander-Arnold received the highest level of praise.
Liverpool, led by coach Jurgen Klopp, won 3-0 in an away match in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season against Leicester City held at the King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the 16th (hereinafter Korean time). Liverpool (19 wins, 8 draws, 9 losses) ran 7 consecutive league victories and chased 4th place Manchester United (66 points), who played one less game, by one point.
Alexander-Arnold, who started as right full-back that day, scored a fantastic goal from a free kick in the 25th minute of the second half when his team was leading 2-0. He shook the opponent’s net with a sharp right-footed shot from Mohamed Salah’s lightly deflected ball.
British media Metro reported that ‘Man United former Gary Neville said Alexander-Arnold was making an unprecedented contribution’. Neville said: “Alexander-Arnold’s attacking ability is unprecedented. I’ve never seen a full-back make such an impact on the attacking side. If only Alexander-Arnold’s defense was half as good, he would be one of the greatest full-backs of all time. “Alexander-Arnold can do that. His ability is extraordinary.”
Born in 1998, Alexander-Arnold has been at the heart of Liverpool since making his first-team debut in 2015. He was once called Liverpool’s genius boy. However, he showed disappointing defense compared to his mighty offense. Chelsea’s Frank Leboeuf has criticized Alexander-Arnold’s defense as ‘championship level’.안전놀이터
