In England’s Uefa Nations League matchup versus Greece, Trent Alexander-Arnold is putting on yet another clinic of passing.
Despite Greece’s strong counterattack threat, the first half was disappointing for the Three Lions, who were down 0-0 at the half.
But Alexander-Arnold was one man who stood out as being white in England.
As the Liverpool player nears the conclusion of his £180k per week (per Capology) Anfield deal, you’d understand that he’s distracted right now by the growing Real Madrid connections.
On the ball, however, Alexander-Arnold was at his customary, creative best.

Trent attempted seven crosses and played six passes into the final third, but despite all that risk-taking, he still completed 90% of his passes, including six of the seven long passes that were attempted.
Supporters praised Alexander-Arnold on social media for his famous long passes, especially the one in which he landed them on the head of Newcastle attacker Anthony Gordon, who could only head the ball over the Greek bar. That was Alexander-Arnold’s trademark move that truly grabbed attention.After much longer than anyone could have predicted, Alexander-Arnold now seems to be one of England’s most important players.
