Liverpool's right-hand side pattern has changed

Arnold's chances of participating in the last three games at Liverpool are becoming confusing. All signs indicate that the England international, who is about to transfer to Real Madrid freely this summer, has gradually faded out of the core lineup. According to multiple media reports, the five-year contract reached by Arnold and the Galaxy Battleship has been approved in principle, and rumors of leaving the team that lasted for months were finally settled on Monday.

With coach Slot confirming that Bradley will start in a key match against Arsenal this weekend, the alternation of new and old Liverpool's right-back position officially kicked off. The Dutch coach bluntly said: "We need to reserve young strength for the future. "

Gomez's return to intensify competition

's return may further compress Arnold's living space. The Pioneer, who is competent for multiple positions in the backcourt, has resumed full training on Friday after absent due to a hamstring injury and is expected to return to the roster at the final stage of the Reds' Premier League.

"After surgery, Gomez's season reimbursement was once considered a foregone conclusion. But now his timely return has added key bargaining chips to the defense line. " a team reporter revealed at the Melwood training base.

Bradley locked the main seat

Relying on his amazing performance during Arnold's absence, Northern Ireland star Bradley has firmly occupied Liverpool's main right brake position. Gomez will play the rotation role as an experienced defensive all-rounder. This means that the local youth training pride who once defined the "left and back midfielder" tactical innovation may face the fate of the season's final stage.

Slot started the post-Arnold era

At the pre-Premier press conference, Slot responded to the core's departure with a calm and pragmatic attitude: "Like all Red Army fans, we regret the departure of such an outstanding player and a good material in the locker room. But whether it was Alkmar or Feyenoord's period, the replacement of top players has always been the norm in professional football. "

"My experience tells me that when a superstar leaves, there will always be a new star to take over the torch. This time is no exception. "This statement demonstrates the Dutch coach's philosophy of building a team with a long-term vision and aspiration to reform.

The symbolic meaning of the farewell moment

As Liverpool aims to win the league, Arnold's final figure may appear more in the championship celebration than in the green field. Although he is expected to win the Premier League trophy with the team after the Crystal Palace, Bradley and Gomez's return in full blood have written a new chapter for Anfield's right.

For Bradley, who is only 21 years old, the remaining events will be the springboard for the main players next season; for Arnold, who is about to go to the Bernabeu, the last three Premier League games are destined to finish their 17-year relationship with the parent captain in the silence of the bench. When the youth storm crashes into the cruel professional football, the youth training totem that once defined an era will eventually leave the legend in the corridor of memory.
