Arne Slot has impressed Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool’s defender, with his tactical insight, and Alexander-Arnold is looking forward to the coach’s future plans.
In a recent 3-1 victory over AC Milan, Alexander-Arnold provided an assist from a free-kick that led to Ibrahima Konate’s goal.
Although he’s officially a right-back, under Jurgen Klopp he frequently played further forward alongside Mohamed Salah.
With Klopp’s departure after nine years, Liverpool is undergoing significant changes, and Alexander-Arnold is adapting well to Slot’s coaching style.
He enjoys the increased freedom in his position, often shifting between right-back, right-wing, and even midfield, which has made it challenging for fans to pinpoint his role.
In an interview with CBS Sports, Alexander-Arnold discussed how Slot’s tactics evolve during matches, depending on the opponent’s press.
He emphasized the importance of adaptability, mentioning the various positions he takes based on game scenarios.
The team’s performance against Milan was a stark contrast to their previous 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, as they looked sharper and more direct.
Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai also scored, overcoming an early goal by Christian Pulisic for Milan.
Celebrating his birthday, Slot expressed satisfaction with the team’s response after the initial setback, remarking on the team’s depth and resilience.
