SportFootballTrent Alexander-ArnoldTrent Alexander-Arnold has had a difficult settling in period at Real Madrid to say the least, but it appears he may still be getting to grips with life in SpainFootage of Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr sticking the ball through Trent Alexander-Arnold's legs has gone viral. He found himself competing with club captain Dani Carvajal as well as star midfielder Ernesto Valverde, who was often shifted out to right-back by former manager Xabi Alonso.In December, he then picked up a thigh injury which kept him out for two months.
By the time he returned, Real were being managed by former Reds defender Alvaro Arbeloa, who has placed more trust into the right-back.He recently came out to support Alexander-Arnold after several reports claimed Real Madrid were considering selling him at the end of the season. In February, the Spaniard even said Real Madrid were "lucky" to have the full-back, after he contributed a magnificent assist for Gonzalo Garcia in a 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad.Arbeloa said: "I can't say I'm surprised.
He is a very intelligent boy, who understands the game very well and quickly understands what we want from him."He is not the typical full-back who will always be wide, but he can also play inside. He's a great player, I'm not going to discover him now.
