Trent Alexander-Arnold

“My first poster was Michael Owen. I used to just love how he scored goals.”

“There are always opportunities at Liverpool.”

“You have a job to do, and whoever I am up against I will try to come out on top like I always try.”

“Emotion is a good thing, but top level football can be tough, and you have to be in control.”

“I am happy to get the chance to play whenever I get the chance, and it is down to the manager's trust and the trust he has shown in me.”

“The most important thing for me is education, and my family were really supportive in making sure I did the best I could.”

“That's the most proud I have been: Seeing my family at the World Cup and them being able to watch me play and making them proud of me.”

“Every defeat hurts.”

“Keeping people on their toes is the best way to get the best out of people.”

“I think I'm always willing to learn and listen to the coaches and the manager and listen to the advice of the players in the team as well, so whenever I get the advice, I try to take it on board and just try to help myself get better.”

“You have to go out there and focus on yourself and not who you are up against.”

“It's the high-pressure situations that bring out the real you.”

“With Ronaldo being one of the greats, probably one of the best players ever, it's going to be an honour to hopefully play against him.”

“Obviously, it's important for any team that wants to be really successful to try to have the best players that they possibly can in all positions, and I think Alisson is definitely one of the best in the world in his position.”

“Not many people can say their family has seen them play at a World Cup.”

“The way myself and my brothers have been brought up is that you don't give to receive, you give to give, and that is the way life is.”

“I didn't really have a position when I was younger; I just used to play where the manager told me to play.”

“I always supported Liverpool. My whole family did!”

“I was about six, and Liverpool had a community summer camp. They sent a few invites to my school and my age group, to my class specifically, and they were like, 'Who wants to go?' So every lad in the class put their hands up, as you'd imagine, so the only fair way was to pick names out of a hat, and luckily, my name was picked out.”

“It's just about keeping the momentum going, and it doesn't matter whether it's Champions League or Premier League or whatever trophy you're going for, you've got to focus on the opponent that lies ahead.”
