Go to Real Madrid to win the Golden Ball? Arnold is really not just a talk!

The transfer soap opera that lasted for more than a year finally came to an end, Arnold boarded the Galaxy battleship, and a story about legends and dreams was about to begin.

The extreme 3 chooses 2, Liverpool is not afraid of the backbone leaving the team

Before Arnold left the team, Liverpool had successfully renewed the contract with Van Deck and Salah. The strength and condition of the two veterans are still there, and it takes huge costs and risks to find their replacement. Slott's team has completed a soft landing at the tactical level, and a large-scale personnel change may be required next. Van Deck and Salah are the key pieces to ensure the team's lower limit. Arnold's age means he has more value for long-term retention, but the local elite eventually chose to go to a new environment to seek challenges. Bradley has proven himself over the past two seasons, and this player with outstanding defensive skills seems to be the right-back who meets Slot's requirements.

In Real Madrid, Arnold does not lack bodyguards.

Special players ushered in a suitable system

When they switched from the midfield to the right back, Arnold quickly showed outstanding passing ability and tactical awareness, and recorded a large number of exciting assists while following Klopp. Real Madrid's current forward configuration is similar to Liverpool back then. Arnold's ability to use passes to promote rapid offense has a lot of room for play. In order to cover up Arnold's loopholes in defense, Klopp and Slott both asked the midfielder and right center back to make up for their defense. Real Madrid's team had Valverde and Raul Asensio to complete such a task.

Ancelotti gave way to Xavi Alonso, which was Arnold's opportunity.

In Ancelotti's current 442 system, Arnold may be a double-edged sword, and in the 343/3421 system advocated by "future coach" Xavi Alonso, the English can display their offensive talents at the wingback position. In the late Klopp era, Liverpool lacked excellent midfielders (Fabinho left the team), and Arnold transformed into a "side-back midfielder" to station in the four battles, showing a good overall view and field control ability. This style of play can be continued in the tactical structure of Xavi Alonso.

In order to go further on the basis of Kavajal, Arnold needs the blessing of multiple factors such as time, place, and people.

The lower limit is guaranteed, and the upper limit depends on "time"

In the last year's Golden Globe Awards, Carvajal ranked fourth, which was achieved with the dual halo of the Champions League and European Cup championships. If Arnold wants to go further on this basis, he must also achieve a double harvest of personal data and team honors - not only to help Mbappe realize his Champions League dream, but also to help England complete the breakthrough of the championship. If Arnold is a full-back in the four-back system, it will be difficult for Arnold to become a figure that determines the game trend, but if he can serve as a wingback or a midfielder in the three-center-back structure, the Englishman can become a key X-factor.
