Liverpool’s star defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold, showed visible frustration after being substituted during Liverpool’s 2-0 victory against Brentford. The substitution occurred shortly after Mohamed Salah scored the team’s second goal.Manager Arne Slot replaced Alexander-Arnold with Conor Bradley, leading to a tense exchange between the player and coach on the bench.
This incident marks the second time Alexander-Arnold has been substituted early this season, sparking rumors about his potential move to Real Madrid next season to join his friend Jude Bellingham.
"Every player wants to play 90 minutes, but I don't think the players that were on the bench from the start were really happy with the choice I made [either]!"
