Liverpool fans were a “great help,” said Trent Alexander-Arnold after joining Real Madrid

Trent Alexander -Arnold says that Liverpool fans were “incredible help” when he started a new chapter in his career in Real Madrid today – and made an immediate impression by speaking Spanish commonly during his presentation.

The right rear of England was mocked several times after announcing that he would leave Anfield when his contract expired at the end of last season, although Madrid ended up paying costs of 10 million pounds sterling to sign it before the club World Cup.

It was a sour end to what had been a nine-year trophy among fans of Liverpool and Reds would have been impressed by the new linguistic skills of Alexander-Arnold.

After admitting that he had learned Spanish for a few months, the 26 -year -old said he was convinced that he had managed his release from Merseyside in the right way.

He said: “Everything I made with Liverpool was incredible, he will never be forgotten. But I went out in the right direction, I am happy for the way I did it. I couldn’t say anything wrong about fans. Everyone was incredible, they supported me a lot. It was an incredible help.

“The owners thanked me for everything I have done for the club and that I am always welcome. They said that everything that was incredible. Now being here is very exciting for me. It is incredible and something that few players can live.”

Alexander-Arnold, who will wear shirt number 12, admitted that it was a key to leaving Liverpool and said that the only club he would have planned to leave Anfield was Madrid.

“I always knew, I had known for a long time that if I left Liverpool, it would be for Real Madrid,” he added.

“And then it comes to a point where you have to make a decision to go or stay. It was not easy, will not say it, I was there so long and was part of it, but ultimately you had to make a decision and I took the right in my mind and I am excited.”
