Trent's transfer to Real Madrid has become a fact. His performance in La Liga has completely lost Alonso's trust. In the Champions League, Arnold finally got a starting opportunity, but was replaced due to injury just 3 minutes into the game. This is a nightmare for Arnold, who has not yet integrated into the Real Madrid system. According to relevant media reports, Arnold will be injured for 6-8 weeks, and his next appearance is probably the end of the year.

If you forget to write the word betrayal during the English exam, you can write "trent". As a Liverpool youth training player, Arnold's desperate attempt to join Real Madrid this summer has indeed disappointed most Liverpool fans, but his performance after joining Real Madrid is also expected. Arnold is not a traditional full-back, but a point with poor defensive awareness and only a good long pass. Liverpool relies on the protection of midfielders, centre-backs and even wingers to train Arnold to become a talent, but Arnold seems not aware of this and decides to go to Real Madrid to pursue a better life, but his choice proves wrong.

The injury retreat in the Champions League is equivalent to a nightmare for Arnold, which means that his half season has been ruined. Objectively speaking, Arnold's joining Real Madrid is indeed a good thing for his career, which will help him win the Golden Ball Award, but at least he must wait until his defensive ability is improved before he can quickly integrate after joining Real Madrid. Judging from his performance at Real Madrid in the previous few games, Alonso's tactical system is completely unsuitable for Arnold, and even makes Arnold useless.

If Arnold stays at Liverpool this season, he may have the chance to be transformed into a midfielder, and his technical abilities in all aspects have the opportunity to improve in the game, but his choice to join Real Madrid directly not only adds difficulty to his career, but also causes major problems in Alonso's deployment. Real Madrid has tried many players in the right-back position, but until now, Carvajal is still the first choice. Arnold's playing time is less than 200 minutes, and he can't even make defensive highlights.

Arnold, 27 years old this year, is a standard professional background. He has learned Gerald's way of playing football since childhood. He also learned Gerald to show his loyalty to Liverpool, but eventually chose to join Real Madrid. It turns out that Gerald only has one, and Arnold can only become the next Irving.

Now Arnold's status in Real Madrid is comparable to that of water dispensers. After two months of recovery, Arnold will definitely not be able to return to the starting lineup in the short term. Next, unless Carvajal is injured, Arnold will have the chance to start.

In Alonso's eyes, a full-back with balanced offense and defense is what he wants most. Arnold's technical characteristics are too single and it is easy to be targeted in the game. This situation has happened when Arnold played for Liverpool in the Premier League, and will naturally be targeted in the La Liga. What's more, Real Madrid's second half of the league is basically the knockout round, and the opponent's strength is quite strong. With Arnold's defensive ability and Real Madrid's strictness towards the players, it is difficult for Arnold to become the best candidate for the right back under Alonso.
