"Completely confused"
Shortly before the start of the European Championship: Rooney takes England star apart
Shortly before the start of the European Championship, Wayne Rooney has caused a stir with his fierce criticism of Trent Alexander-Arnold. The former footballer is harsh on the Liverpool star: "Defensively, he's a complete mess!"
England full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold was ruled out of the 2021 European Championship. The Liverpool professional injured his thigh in the closing stages of the 1-0 friendly win over Austria. Three years later, he is on board. Which legend Wayne Rooney can't really understand.
"He can't defend. I wouldn't even put him anywhere near midfield," said Rooney on the expert panel "The Overlap". Harsh words! Especially when you consider that Alexander-Arnold was a regular at Liverpool for years under Jürgen Klopp.
For the opener against Serbia
However, the defensive work of the attack-minded right-back has been repeatedly criticized in the past. It will be interesting to see whether the 25-year-old will prove his critics wrong at the European Championships. Title favorites England start the tournament on Sunday, when they face Serbia.
