Liverpool boss Arne Slot addresses Trent Alexander-Arnold frustration

Liverpool boss Arne Slot substituted right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold during the match against Brentford, which highly disappointed the English defender.

The Reds have started their season with two wins in two matches and the post Jurgen Klopp era is off to a perfect start.

Liverpool have beaten Ipswich Town and Brentford in their first two matches of the season.

Slot decided to take off right-back Alexander-Arnold in the match against Brentford and that decision did not go down well with the English star.

The Liverpool manager had to explain his decision to the player by going towards him on the bench, with Alexander-Arnold looking upset and showing his frustration.

Slot has explained his decision after the match and revealed the reason behind taking off his defender.

In his post match interview, he said, as quoted by GOAL:

“I understand. Every player wants to play 90 minutes but I don’t think the players that were on the bench from the start were really happy with the choice I made.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was not happy with the decision made by Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

“Trent came back from the national team, where in the beginning of the tournament he played quite a lot and then he didn’t. He had a few weeks off, came back and it is only his third game and we have to take care of him. We need him for the whole season and not only for the first two games. The good thing for me is that I have a very good backup as well with Conor, that means we are taking care of Trent, but he played a good game.”
