Earlier this week, Real Madrid announced former Liverpool player Trent Alexander Arnold as his latest signature. The defender joined the La Liga Giants ahead of the Club World Cup, making a considerable impression at the press conference.
Alexander Arnold spoke to the media and Real Madrid staff in Spanish and revealed that he had been learning the language for several months. However, this was loved by his new supporters, but his previous fans of Liverpool considered it rude.
Colliemore tells Liverpool supporters to forget torrent
In his exclusive catch-offside column, Stan Colliemore responded to Alexander Arnold’s press conference earlier this week. He believes that lingering feelings, both positive and negative, should be forgotten by Liverpool supporters.
“Liverpool and its fans need to move on quickly from this Trent Alexander Arnold situation, and I think most people have already done so. Liverpool is not a club that crys with spilled milk, so they simply forget about it and look ahead.
“The transition to Real Madrid is great for Trent considering that it is undoubtedly the biggest club in the world. As a sportsman, you want to play for the best in the world and compete for the trophies regularly. He certainly does that in Madrid.
“And the fact that he quickly embraced the move by learning Spain enough to speak at his press conference. It sends a message to the Real Madrid hierarchy, his new teammates and the club’s supporters that he’s been there for a long time. The British players played football.”
