Arne Slot Reveals His Thoughts on the Reception Trent Alexander

Real Madrid and Liverpool are two of the giants in European football, and they come to blows again on November 4. The game takes place at Anfield and sees the return of Xabi Alonso, who once played for the Reds during his career.

He won't be the only returnee, as right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold takes on his former team. The 26-year-old left Liverpool this past summer, joining the Spanish giants for a small fee with his contract expiring.

The decision not to sign a new contract and leave for a reduced fee angered sections of the fan base. That resulted in plenty of online hate, and some sections of the crowd jeering in his final matches. Trent comes face to face with his boyhood club fr the first time, and Arne Slot has given his thoughts on how the fans could react.

Arne Slot Will Give Trent Alexander-Arnold a Warm wWelcome

The Liverpool coach spoke in his press conference ahead of the game against Real Madrid. Slot was asked about the reception Alexnder-Arnold may receive from the home fans. He was confident in his own welcome to Trent, but not too sure about the supporters.

"I can only tell you what I'm going to give him. I have great memories of him as a person. My experience working with him is positive. I remember watching him on television... We have some great moments together in a Liverpool shirt. I'll give him a warm welcome, but I don't know how the fans will receive him."

Arne Slot

The feeling is that there will be some jeering for the Englishman, with some understanding of what he has done for the club during his time there. However, he may not start the game, which could also mean he may not see the field.

Away from the Trent thoughts. Slot is expecting a tough encounter and called on the fans to make the stadium hostile.

"I ask you to come and help us. Tomorrow is a match against a team on a good run, but it's always nice to play at home. Anfield always proves that it's important."

Xabi Alonso

Anfield can be a tough place to play. Alonso will hope to quiet down the crowd, but will expect a tough opening few minutes. If they can get through the opening part unscaved, then it will be a positive for the team.
