Alonso: Trent is a defender specialized in precise passing
Xabi Alonso, the head coach of the "Real" team, shared his thoughts about the right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In the match against "Juventus" within the World Club Championship (1:0), Trent provided an accurate goal pass to Gonzalo Garcia. According to Alonso, Trent's precise assist to Gonzalo is one of his distinctive qualities.
He has made around 500 such passes throughout his career. This is a very necessary pass for the team, executed accurately and carefully.
Dribbling is not Trent's strong suit, which is why we are working on additional options for the right flank. This is a big test for Trent, as he started playing for "Real" with almost no preparation.
He had to come directly to the games without training. Such a process requires time, Alonso said in an interview with DAZN channel.
In the quarter-finals of the World Club Championship, the "Real" team will face "Borussia". In this match, the team will try to showcase its capabilities against a strong opponent.
The players and coaches are preparing seriously for this contest. The result will be of great importance for advancing to the next stage.
