Eight trophies, generally speaking, is not a small number, even though Trent Alexander-Arnold would like to win more. A wish Liverpool apparently cannot fulfil since the Reds have lately been winning only domestic cups – minor competitions for the English giants. Trent’s only Premier League and Champions League trophies came four and five years ago, respectively, and Liverpool’s powerlessness to oppose the greatest European clubs and Man City in the homeland bothers the defender more and more.##NAJAVA_MECA_8405600##When asked what most affected his decision-making concerning his future three weeks ago, TAA was loud and clear – trophies. For English media, it was a message to Liverpool’s management, and in case they did not understand it, Trent last night sent another.”This was a conversation I had last England camp with Eberechi Eze when we were going to Ireland. I said, “You know that there’s a chance I may never win another trophy in my career again.” There’s a chance of that. There’s a chance I win many, many more. And you’ll only know the morning after you retire. You’ll look at yourself in the mirror and you’ll have a feeling of either regret or satisfaction of what you have achieved,” said Alexander-Arnold, speaking to ITV.Carvajal’s injury hastens Trent’s departure from Anfield?However, the right-back then tried to “soften the blow” by saying that the trophies do not entirely determine one’s career.”But I don’t think you can value that on trophies and medals or goals and assists; anything like that. It’s more that I give it absolutely everything from start to finish and I’ve put everything into it. And as long as I can say that I tried to get better every single day, I tried to be the best player I could be for the team and I tried to help the team win as many games as possible, and I believe that I maximised the potential that everyone told me from a very young age that I had, then I’ll be more than satisfied,” TAA added.Who is the right right-back for Real?Even though Liverpool opened the season excellently and currently lead the Premier League title race, and despite Alexander-Arnold’s significant role in the campaign, there is no progress in his contract extension talks with the Reds. And Real Madrid are waiting for a chance to snatch him. Yet, it feels that after each of Trent’s public statements, his wishes regarding his future seem more and more unclear, and the conundrum he creates becomes more and more complicated.
