One of the new summer recruits of the Spanish vice-champion was quick to make an impression, in particular that of one of the executives of the Madrid wardrobe.
The arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold in Real Madrid this summer offered the Merengue a new weapon on stopped kicking. While Kylian Mbappé gradually invested in this exercise over the season, at the same time scoring the first free kick in his career against Barça in the King's Cup final (defeat 2-3), the English right side did not take long to be noticed.
The former Liverpool player even managed to convince the Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. According to the latter, the new number 12 of Casa Blanca has a talent significantly higher than that of its competitors, whether in the precision of its passes, its free kicks or its corner kicks.
“In training, it's horrible”
“I think he could have already scored several in these four club World Cup games. His decisive precision against Pachuca (3-1) was also very good. In training, it's horrible, his shots are incredible. His free kicks and corners are really of another level ”said the Belgian porter at the microphone of
DAZN.
Courtois sees the presence of Alexander-Arnold as a challenge and an opportunity to progress: “I don't think I have already seen someone with such quality of shooting and center, so as a goalkeeper, it is sometimes a nightmare. But it keeps you in suspense and pushes you to work hard, trying to stop them, to improve it and improve myself. »»
