Alexander-Arnold is marginalised in Madrid but may not need a cult of Trent | Jonathan Liew

Trent Alexander-Arnold is struggling to find acceptance at Real Madrid, but some argue that his marginalization may not be as severe as it seems. According to Sara Duque, his language teacher, Alexander-Arnold's decision to leave Liverpool for a transfer did stir up controversy, with many internet users questioning his motives and loyalty to the club.

However, there are those who believe that this narrative has been exaggerated by the media, creating an unfair expectation of what is expected from players like Alexander-Arnold. It's worth noting that players like Jacob Ramsey, who are also learning new languages, are not subjected to the same level of scrutiny.

The issue arises when people start judging Alexander-Arnold's performance and character based on preconceived notions rather than evaluating him as an individual. This is exacerbated by social media, where public figures are often pressured to conform to certain expectations in order to maintain their reputation and keep up with online discourse.

There is a growing trend of players being idolized for their performances on the pitch, but not necessarily for who they are as people. In reality, football stars are human beings with complexities, flaws, and imperfections – just like everyone else.

Alexander-Arnold himself seems to be aware that he has a larger-than-life persona attached to him, which may make it difficult for him to express his true self without being scrutinized. He recently admitted on social media that he wants to win the Ballon d'Or as a right-back, and this statement sparked both praise and criticism from fans and pundits alike.

Ultimately, Alexander-Arnold needs to be given space to develop as a player and a person without being subject to intense scrutiny. His unique blend of skills and personality makes him an intriguing figure in football, but it's essential that we approach him with empathy and understanding rather than judgment.

It will be crucial for him to find a new level of confidence and adaptability at Real Madrid, utilizing his exceptional abilities to dominate games without relying on the crowd. With patience, support, and understanding from those around him, Alexander-Arnold can prove himself as one of the greatest right-backs in football history, rather than just being relegated to cult status.

I feel so bad for this kid he's already going through so much pressure on and off the pitch it's like, yeah we love watching him play but can't we just let him be himself for once? I mean, social media is tough enough without having to conform to some expected persona and now he's got all these critics waiting for him to slip up which isn't fair what would it feel like to have your life under a microscope 24/7? I just wish people could see beyond the footballer and see Trent as a person who makes mistakes too

I think some people overreacted when he left Liverpool , everyone has their own reasons for making big moves in life . It's not like he did anything wrong , we should be supporting him ️ rather than tearing him down . He's still an amazing player and I'm excited to see what he does next . Let's focus on his football skills rather than judging him as a person . He seems like a humble guy , who wants to improve and win , that's all we can ask for .

I think we need to take a step back and not assume the worst about Trent Alexander-Arnold's situation at Real Madrid. He's already an incredible player, but it's unrealistic to expect him to seamlessly fit into a new team right away. The media can be pretty harsh, especially when it comes to players who are already under scrutiny for their performances. It's like they're being held to a super-high standard just because of his reputation as a Liverpool player.

We need to remember that footballers are human beings too, with their own strengths and weaknesses. They can't be reduced to just their on-field performance or personality traits. I mean, Jacob Ramsey is also learning new languages, but nobody's scrutinizing him like Alexander-Arnold right now.

It's cool that he wants to win the Ballon d'Or as a right-back – that shows ambition and confidence! We should be supporting him and giving him space to grow, rather than judging him harshly for not meeting our expectations. Maybe if we approach him with empathy and understanding, he'll surprise us even more on the pitch.

I feel bad for Trent Alexander-Arnold he's already under so much pressure on the pitch & now off it too people wanna know everything about him but what if he just wants to play footy? social media can be super harsh & I think it's unfair that players are judged differently 'cause they speak multiple languages. Jacob Ramsey is a great example of that he's doing the same thing, learning new languages, but no one's giving him as much grief about it we should focus on how he plays on the pitch, not what language his mum speaks

I think he's totally overrated. I mean, people need to chill out about him leaving Liverpool. It was a business decision, and players make these choices all the time. He's not as troubled as everyone makes him out to be. And yeah, Jacob Ramsey is a great player too, but he doesn't have the same level of fame or pressure, so let's not compare them just yet. The media does play a big role in creating all this drama around Alexander-Arnold's personal life and on-field performance. I think we need to give him space, sure, but also let's focus on his football skills instead of making assumptions about his personality. He's got some decent games under his belt, so what's the big deal?

I think it's so unfair that Trent is getting judged for leaving Liverpool . Like, he's human, okay? He makes choices and we need to support him regardless of what they are. And yeah, Jacob Ramsey learning a new language isn't the same as being a world-class footballer . We should be focusing on his actual skills and not making assumptions about him based on how he speaks Spanish or English.

It's also wild that we're putting so much pressure on him to perform and fit this certain image of a football star . Can't we just let him be himself without judging him? I feel like he's already saying something is off with his post on social media, but if people are still scrutinizing him, that's not going to help him build confidence.

We need to start supporting our athletes as people, not just their achievements . And maybe instead of comparing him to other players, we should be looking at what makes Trent special and how we can help him shine on the pitch .

u feel like we're puttin under so much pressure on these footy stars 2 perform & be perfect? like they're human b4, but as soon as they step onto the pitch or get a big transfer, suddenly they gotta live up 2 this idolized expectation it's not fair 2 them. we need 2 start seein them as people w/ flaws & imperfections, not just their skills on the pitch

I'm so done with the constant scrutiny on Trent Alexander-Arnold . Like, I get it, he's a superstar player, but do we really need to dissect every little thing he does? His decision to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid is a personal choice, and instead of supporting him, some fans are just waiting for him to fail so they can say "I told you so" . It's like, come on guys, let the dude breathe!

And don't even get me started on how we treat other players like Jacob Ramsey who are going through similar struggles. We expect them to be perfect and bilingual, but Alexander-Arnold is a human being too, with flaws and imperfections . It's time for us to take a step back, approach him with empathy, and support him unconditionally . Let's give the guy space to shine, not just as a player, but as a person

I think its unfair to say he's not accepting at Real Madrid... his skills on the pitch are still top notch but yeah, the media attention surrounding him is defo getting a bit out of hand. people forget hes human and makes mistakes like everyone else lets give him some space to settle in & focus on his game 4Real!
