The 20-year-old fullback talks the upcoming season

Liverpool FC are taking on Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London. Whether or not fans view it as a glorified friendly, it seems like the team and the players are taking it very seriously. Trent Alexander-Arnold spoke with the team’s website ahead of the match.

“Again, it’s another opportunity to win a trophy.” Trent said. “You’ve got to respect every competition you enter and this is one of many competitions that we’re in this season as a team. We’re obviously looking to win the game; it’s a game against City and one that might set off the start of the season. Effectively our season starts on Sunday and we’ve got a massive game against one of the best teams in the world. Coming in off pre-season, it’s going to be tough and intense but we know we can match them, we’ve shown that over the years. It will be tough but I am sure we will put in a good effort.”

The game doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, but it’s good to see players with the right mentality ahead of the season.
