New Real Madrid star Trent Alexander-Arnold’s full press conference as the former Liverpool man reveals all on his Spanish lessons, leaving his boyhood club and realising his childhood dream. 0:00 Intro 0:01 A day I’ve been waiting for a long time now. There’s still a lot of hard work to do but I’m very excited to be here. 0:50 By waiting a long time for this move, I meant a couple of weeks, not years. I grew up watching this club win three Champions Leagues in a row. I want to be a part of the success going forward. I’m looking to have a great start at the Club World Cup. 2:42 I grew up a Liverpool fan. Istanbul with Xabi Alonso. It’s great to have that communication with him. He’s a big idol of mine. It’s a dream come true to work alongside him. We haven’t formally met yet but over the next few weeks we’ll talk about everything. He’s shown how amazing he is as a manager and as a player. 4:22 Carvajal is a fantastic player. He’s won so many trophies, been a part of so many successful teams. Nothing but respect. You don’t achieve that much without a lot of talent. 5:16 I spoke to Jude about Liverpool, about Real Madrid. We were always talking. A lot of people think he played a big part in me coming here, but the club speaks for itself. 6:32 Playing for Real Madrid is not something you dream of because it’s out of reach for a lot of players. 10/11 years ago I was just focusing on learning and being the best footballer I could be. 7:25 I’ve been learning Spanish for a few months. Ballon d’Or didn’t influence me on coming here at all. It’s exciting, I want to play with these kind of players. Being at Liverpool for so long and experiencing everything I did was incredible. It was always going to be emotional for me. I’ve had great conversations with the owners, they wished me so well and said I would be welcomed back at any time. Over the moon to be here, though. I’m very proud. 10:26 I just want to play. To play for Real Madr
