Trent Alexander Arnold and Liverpool, everything ends! Transfer to Real Madrid is not a betrayal

. From the situation of Salah and Van Dyke, we can see that the problem lies with Liverpool Club. What the Egyptian (Salah) said so far sounds incredible: "It's almost December and I haven't received any offer to stay at the club." I don't know what Liverpool can expect with such an attitude. Negotiating with players the team needs can’t do this.

And it is also a coincidence in time that there was a problem with Real Madrid's right-back position. But this is not a problem that has always existed. For example, Marcelo has occupied this position (on the other side) for almost 15 years. It was very likely that Real Madrid didn't need Trent, but everything coincidentally led to the transfer of the English player. The Liverpool defender's contract is about to expire, and Carvajal is injured. Yes, he will recover, but what will happen to him after 33 years of suffering such a serious injury?

We live in a world where athletes lose their autonomy to a large extent. Football players are the protagonists on the court. For them, thousands of spectators gathered in the stadium and millions were guarding the TV. However, the players have little influence on the industry. They were just told what they should do. What we are talking about here is not the coach - in this case the coach's command is reasonable. The problem is also the new rules and new events, and none of these are sought from the players. Even some harmless social media postings can lead to a ban. Moreover, public opinion will forcefully interfere in when and where players will transfer. It is best if the player never transfers. Although everyone knows that Muller and Akinfeyev are exceptions. With less than 1% of such players, we should cherish them more than criticize the remaining 99% of players.

fans have the right to view players in the way they see fit (within reasonable scope of course). But the opinions of fans cannot be the decisive factor. The final decision is in the hands of the players. At least in terms of career planning.
