Trent Alexander-Arnold Amazes Liverpool Squad with Jaw-Dropping Basketball Trick Shot
Amid a recent photoshoot, the versatile Reds full-back embarked on an audacious endeavor: volleying the ball into a distant basketball hoop with his ostensibly less adept left foot. Remarkably, he executed the trick shot with impeccable precision, leaving onlookers astonished.
Thiago Alcantara, who happened to be standing next to Trent, could only manage a look of sheer disbelief, while Curtis Jones catapulted from his seat, embarked on an exuberant lap around the room, and couldn’t contain his excitement.
Witness the remarkable feat in the video below.
Fans took to social media platforms in a frenzy, expressing their sheer admiration. One fan’s tweet encapsulated the sentiment, declaring, “I have convinced myself that Trent is not human.”
“First, the crossbar with England, and now this. My man is deadly accurate,” another fan added.
“It’s just Trent being Trent,” chimed in a third, reflecting on his consistent penchant for the extraordinary.
“Did I see that right? With his left foot, lmao,” a fourth exclaimed, highlighting the mind-boggling aspect of the trick shot.
Even Captain Virgil van Dijk exhibited a remarkable display of dexterity with a basketball, seamlessly translating his prowess from the pitch to the court, scoring two baskets in quick succession.
Alexander-Arnold has been sidelined due to a muscle injury for Liverpool’s recent victories against Wolves, LASK, and West Ham. Nevertheless, assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders provided an encouraging update on the 24-year-old’s rehabilitation. “Trent trained with us yesterday,” he confirmed. “Although it was limited to participation in rondos and ball possession exercises with counter-pressing, his performance was truly outstanding. You can instantly see his quality. While he is back training with the team, I am uncertain about his readiness. We’ll evaluate his status today.”
