Furthermore, coach Xabi Alonso revealed this through Diario AS to highlight his faith in the Englishman’s accurate crossing and creativity.
As a result, fans should expect Alexander-Arnold to run the bulk of set pieces, with everyone watching to see how he breaks down tight defenses from dead-ball situations.
At just 26, Alexander-Arnold moved to Real Madrid on a free transfer from Liverpool and immediately took over the famous number 12 jersey that once belonged to Marcelo.
Moreover, he steps into a fierce right-back battle against veteran Dani Carvajal.
Strong performances in training and steady displays in matches will decide who locks down that spot in Alonso’s high-energy setup.
Right now, Alexander-Arnold is part of the squad at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
This event gives him the perfect opportunity to gel with his new teammates and show why Madrid chose him for their high-pressure set pieces.
Also, his world-class crossing and vision can spark fresh attacking threats when they matter most.
Tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz has already offered his endorsement, saying:
> “Huge respect to Trent. I’m sure he’ll be the best right-back in the world.”
That praise only ramps up the buzz around his move.
Alonso’s choice also demonstrates how Alexander-Arnold’s flair complements Real Madrid’s attacking approach, which should result in more goals and cornerback opportunities throughout the season.
