Trent Alexander-Arnold selects dream four-a-side team, leaving Liverpool teammates behind
Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold has recently named his dream four-a-side team and has put his club loyalties aside for the challenge. The four-a-side tournament called ‘Four 2 Score’ is Red Bull’s new format, which will take place across the globe this year. The tournament will consist of 12 men’s teams and six women’s teams, and the winners will compete in the finals and fight for the title of world champions. The rules of the tournament are unique, with ten-minute rounds and no goalkeeper, and goals counted as double in the first and last minute of each round.
As a promotion for the tournament, Trent Alexander-Arnold was asked to name his dream four-a-side team, and he didn’t disappoint with his selection. The Liverpool defender has picked himself as the only defender in his team and has chosen Lionel Messi, Zinedine Zidane, and Ronaldo Nazario to complete his dream team.
According to Alexander-Arnold, his team would be more defensive, focusing on precise passing. He believes that Messi and Zidane would be the creators, while Ronaldo would be a lethal finisher. His midfield picks would have to provide cover for him as he tries to keep things tight at the back.
Despite his Champions League history with Lionel Messi, where he went head-to-head with him and Barcelona in a thrilling semi-final tie in 2019, the defender has put that aside and chose him as one of his players. The potential link-up between Alexander-Arnold and Messi would be scary for any opposition.
To help with his defensive duties, Alexander-Arnold has picked Zinedine Zidane to play in a more combative midfield role. Zidane would bring ample balance and be perfect for the quick tempo nature of the game.
Finally, to lead the line in his four-man side, the Liverpool right-back has picked Brazilian Ronaldo, arguably the best striker of all time. With so many creators in the team already, a natural-born goalscorer is needed, and it’s understandable why Alexander-Arnold picked R9 to be his lone frontman.
In conclusion, Trent Alexander-Arnold has picked a formidable team that would be hard to beat, with a perfect blend of creativity, defensive stability, and lethal finishing. It would be interesting to see how his team fares in the ‘Four 2 Score’ tournament if they ever got the chance to play together.
