Trent Alexander-Arnold used to get angry as a young player at Liverpool’s academy.
‘I would lose my head,’ he told Mail Sport back in 2019. ‘I would be diving into tackles trying to get my emotions out.
'They told me the mental side was going to stop me making it… that there was no way a manager would like or want me.'
It’s fair to say Alexander-Arnold got over all of that, fair to say that the proved those well-intentioned age group coaches wrong. That he leaves Liverpool for Spain this summer as a Premier League great is the greatest compliment he can probably be paid.
