Trent Alexander-Arnold has been talking about Jürgen Klopp’s last season. He knows exactly how he wants Arne Slot’s first year at Liverpool to go.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, the vice captain of Liverpool, has maintained that, despite the Reds’ defeat by Manchester City and Arsenal in the Premier League championship battle, Jürgen Klopp’s final season was a success.

Liverpool finished the season in third place after winning the Carabao Cup and securing a spot in the Champions League. The news that Klopp was departing was the only thing that altered people’s perceptions; nonetheless, a dismal few weeks, which included lost points against Crystal Palace and Manchester United, ultimately put a stop to the German’s fantasy ending.

Alexander-Arnold told Liverpool’s official website, “It was a good season, built on last season, got better as a team, challenged for the title, took it far and we improved.” “Any improvement indicates that the season is going well. Consider the good things, go on, and ideally try it again the following season.”

Alexander-Arnold, 25, will have a different experience this summer when Arne Slot joins, given he has only ever been managed by Klopp during his senior career. Additionally, he hopes to steer clear of the frustrating injuries that have impeded his progress over the past 12 months or so in the upcoming campaign.

“Obviously, getting hurt is never nice,” Alexander-Arnold said. “You want to support the squad and play as many games as you can, but these things do happen from time to time. It was a challenging moment that taught me to be patient and challenging. You simply become stronger and learn to value the moments when you’re well and able to play video games.”

Where the Dutch coach plans to start Alexander-Arnold is one of the major choices that will shape what the Slot era at Anfield looks like, according to Liverpool.com. Will he be a midfielder, a right-back, a blend of the two, or both at once, as he essentially is now? Slot will have his own suggestions for improving Liverpool’s setup.

As things stand, Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk have contracts that expire in the summer. Getting him bound up will be essential to prevent needless conjecture about his long-term prospects. Ideally, he can sign a new contract this summer and play injury-free the entire season, with the team’s obvious goal being to go forward.
