Liverpool manager Arne Slot has said that Trent Alexander-Arnold’s positioning depends on the opponent in each game.
The England international is a regular right-back. But has been deployed in midfield on several occasions over the past two or three years. He was deployed in midfield at Euro 2024 but has faced criticism for his disappointing performances.สมัคร UFABET
Slot was also asked about Trent’s best position. To which he replied, “I think the player’s position is always related to the team and my goal is to get the best out of the players.”
“But the first goal is to get the best out of the team and it helps if you get the best out of the players too. I think Trent has known to play right-back all his life. And when he was younger he played as a midfielder.”
“In modern football you see a lot of full-backs playing in midfield. That’s what he was at times last season and I see him playing in midfield at Euro 2024.”
“So I think he can play in both positions and it depends on me where he can help the team the most.”
Speaking during Liverpool’s clash with Brentford on Sky Sports on Sunday. The 46-year-old said: “Trent Alexander-Arnold is in a really high position when Liverpool have the ball at the back. It is something we associate with Pedro Porro at Tottenham. With the way Ange Postecoglou sets up. It is very different to what we saw at Ipswich when the back four was so close together.
