Declan Rice’s comment on Trent Alexander Arnold

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has come out in defense of Trent Alexander Arnold and addressed him as one of the best players he has ever seen.

Arsenal midfielder said on ITV about Arnold,

It’s funny because people were calling for Trent to play in midfield. It’s funny because people were calling for Trent to play in midfield.

I will defend all of my boys until the day I never put on an England shirt. Trent is one of the best players I have ever seen. Don’t call for someone to play in a position and then backtrack all because you think he has had a bad game or something.

“I will tell you now – Trent can play in midfield. I have seen it at England, I have seen it for Liverpool. He’s unbelievable.”

Arnold’s Performance in Euro

Liverpool midfielder had plenty of shots in the first match for the Three Lions against Serbia and also made some smart interceptions. However, England number 8 Trent Alexander Arnold had a few moments defensively but struggled in midfield in England’s second match against Denmark. The Liverpool star is too deep out of possession, and lacking energy. The midfielder often misplaced passes, easily giving away the ball and England lost possession. Ultimately Arnold was subbed in the 54th minute. Although the midfielder created 3 chances for the three lions. In both matches, Arnold has a pass completion of 88% while his fellow midfielder Declan Rice has a pass completion of more than 90%. England has the next game on Wednesday against Slovenia. So, the question remains whether Southgate will continue the same squad or change it for the last group match.
