England manager, Gareth Southgate has not treated Trent Alexander-Arnold well at the Euro 2024 tournament, Chris Waddle has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he does not understand why Southgate will play Trent as part of a midfield two when it is clear that without runners, his passing ability will be completely wasted.
Chris added that only Saka who does not always want the ball to feet can be in sync with a player like Trent in midfield.
His words, “Trent Alexander-Arnold is playing as part of a midfield two, and I don’t understand why Gareth Southgate has made that decision. At England, there are no runners, so his greatest strength – his passing range – in that midfield role is completely wasted. He’s playing it simple because he has to – all these England players in front of him, except for Saka sometimes, want the ball to feet.
Trent’s a wonderful player, but his best attribute is being wasted in this midfield role for England. If we’re going to play Trent in midfield, then Southgate needs to get more runners into his team. We need a player with the mindset to think ‘When Trent’s on the ball, I’m going to run behind my full-back because he’ll find me.'”
WOW.
