'It wasn't like this at Liverpool' - Tough Transition for Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid

The former Liverpool fullback made a free transfer to Real Madrid this summer after failing to renew his contract.

The England international ended his 20-year stay after joining the club's academy at the age of 6 for a dream move to Madrid.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to start in Real Madrid's Club World Cup opener against Al-Hilal (June 18th, 10:00 PM CEST).

The England international admits, however, that he's facing significantly different and demanding training conditions in Madrid, as reported by Sportal.

The 26-year-old right-back also highlighted his efforts to learn Spanish and expressed gratitude to his teammates for helping him settle in.

"The truth is, the ball moves faster here, and there's so much quality. It's very different from what I've been used to," Alexander-Arnold stated.

He continued, "I can't say enough good things about the lads and the effort they've made to make me feel comfortable. They've helped me with everything."
