As a key figure for Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold has always been known for his attacking flair and incredible ability to pick out key passes.
Over the years, his playmaking skills from the right-back position have made him a standout talent in European football.
The Englishman already has 4 assists in 17 appearances in the Premier League this season.
In Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Newcastle United at St James’ Park in midweek, the right back took his total assists tally in the EPL to 61, becoming the first defender to do so.
However, with the arrival of new ideas at the club, Alexander-Arnold’s game has started to take on a new shape.
Liverpool, under new tactical setups and leadership, have been refining their style of play.
For many players, a change in system requires adjustments.
For a player like Alexander-Arnold, whose role has evolved over time, it’s crucial to adapt to these shifts.
While fans and pundits have noticed some tactical changes in how the team plays, the effect on individual players like the right-back has been subtle yet significant.
Now, in a recent interview, the defender has opened up about how these changes, particularly under manager Arne Slot, have impacted his game.
Trent Alexander-Arnold on how Arne Slot has impacted his game.
Speaking to TNT Sports, he shared his thoughts on how Arne Slot has impacted his game and how Liverpool’s style has evolved.
“I think probably one of the biggest things that’s changed for us is we probably play a little bit less now, don’t we?” he said.
“Conserving a lot of our energy but the style of which he coaches and the style in which we play and the identity that we’ve got as a team is something that is there to see.”
Alexander-Arnold also highlighted how quickly the players have embraced the new approach, showing their commitment to the system.
“The lads have bought into it from day one,” he added.
Finally, he praised the tactical insight of Slot: “Of course, the tactics are you know mind blowing as well, if I’m honest.”
This reveals how Alexander-Arnold, along with his teammates, has not only adjusted but also thrived under Slot’s methods, contributing to the continued success and identity of Liverpool’s football under this new era.
