Trent Alexander-Arnold was primarily boosted by a few sections of the amount of Angield when he was used on Sunday as a replacement for Liverpool against Arsenal.
The fan of Liverpool in childhood has been immersed in his decision to leave the club since his announcement of his decision. After Alexander-Arnold won every available great award, including the Premier League title this season, he said that he wanted to make a “change” and find a “new challenge”.
The English international admitted that “the news will disappoint many people who will annoy people, it will annoy them”. He wasn’t wrong.
After his introduction for Conor Bradley in the 67th minute of the competition on Sunday, Alexander-Arnold was hit with a volley of Boos from a crowd, which once called him “the scouser in our team”.
Annoyed fans also sang pointed in favor of his outgoing teammate and sing: “There is only one Conor Bradley.”

Alexander-Arnold did not help his case particularly by playing Mikel Merino Onside quickly when the Arsenal midfielder nodded a rebound by Martin Odegaard’s long-term swipe to score the score with 2: 2.
Although this reception was undoubtedly annoying, he could not have been a surprise for Alexander-Arnold. The proud Liverpudlian, whose children’s house was lying on the route of the open top bus parade for the triumph of the Champions League 2005, was booed before the game.
When several outlets reported that Alexander-Arnold had decided in March to join Real Madrid, posters around Merseyside were discovered, which questioned the player’s motifs. “Loyalty or Lolly,” you read while another warned: “Buddy or traitor. Take yourself with Trent.”
Liverpool will be gone in Brighton next Monday before ending the campaign with a last game for Alexander-Arnold in Anfield against Crystal Palace on May 25th. There will be undoubtedly a more positive atmosphere, since the red ones are presented with the Premier League trophy, although it is to be seen which reaction from the Club Academy-Jewel receives when it helps the piece of silverware.
