Jurgen Klopp is furious with Gareth Southgate’s decision to leave out Trent Alexander Arnold
Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp isn’t of the same opinion as Gareth Southgate and says that Trent Alexander Arnold deserves a place in ge English team. Alexander Arnold was crowned as the PFA Young Player of the Year award last season. He’s amongst the best fullbacks in the world at the moment.
Although Gareth Southgate’s decision to keep out Trent Alexander Arnold didn’t hurt the team in any way as they successfully managed to defeat Albania, San Marino and Poland in the world cup qualifiers; Jurgen Klopp believes that Arnold should be included.
Currently the England roster for right backs is absolutely incredible. Reece James from Chelsea is a huge talent plus Manchester City’s Kyle Walker is the most experienced along with Atletico Madrid’s Keiran Trippier. Add to this Aaron Wan Bissaka there’s hardly any place left for another.
“I am a manager myself. I make decisions every day, every weekend, every midweek about team selections and squad selections. We always make decisions that other people probably do not understand.
“I respect that Gareth makes his own decisions, of course, but I didn’t understand it because Trent Alexander-Arnold was in the last two seasons at least, let me say the season before and the season before that, the stand-out right-back in world football. That is the truth and at an unbelievable young age.
“I have no problem if my players get some criticism. They can get it from me, they can get it from other people, but that is the truth. He was the stand-out right-back in world football.
