In the 1985 block buster movie called Commando. We saw Arnold Schwarzenegger play the character of the powerful, creative and innovative fighter called John Matrix.
To not bore you with stories is to tell you of the unimaginable explosive deeds played by the character. Is it the loving and dutiful Dad he was, that quickly changed to the mercenary style when he was told about the death of his whole team an Jenny (his daughter's) kidnapping.
This retired United State Special forces colonel got so infuriated that he can be said to had single- handedly created strategies, mission guides, war atmosphere, overpowering synergy, fighting energy to get his daughter back and revenge the death of his whole team. He knew he had little or no help; hence the fighting mission must be accomplished.
This story in a way can be said to relate to Liverpool's unbelievable youngster Trent Alexander Arnold. And what he has in common with Arnold Schwarzenegger (John matrix character) is the will to do the extraordinary by fighting for his dream, his livelihood , his joy, his dream, and to destroy/ avenge the power of lack, poverty that has seen him alongside his family struggle to make something meaningful out of their lives.
At the "tender" age of 21, this Liverpool baller is already seen as a top player with lots of evidence to prove this. Hes neither a kid that this glory has gotten to, that has turned into some ridiculous person nor has he become so proud to humble himself to his teammates and coach. After recognising the need to be aggressive and go after his dreams. He has not backed down and he's single handedly creating lots of positive vibes in the Liverpool world class team and getting recognized and respected.
Born in West Derby near Melwoo, tight-knit family, peeking over the Melwood fence to watch his heroes, picked out of a hat to attend a Liverpool summer camp at the age of six. Its an incredible start to life in a supremely big club. But this Superstar has not been swallowed up by the size of the Occasion he's playing in. Instead he has synchronized with the club playing style and requirements that you'll think he has being at the club for close to 15 years.
Trent Alexander-Arnold having already played in two Champions League finals - winning one after setting up one of the competition's all-time great moments - achieving a new Premier League record for assists for a defender and having played for England at a World Cup. And not one of the disappointing England World Cups.
He's also been in a PFA Team of the Year and twice been Liverpool's Young Player of the Year.
All this achievements so far for a young English lad; its an indeed rare football understanding, breakthrough, performance, football discipline for a young football player.
In addition to this, the only player in Europe's top five leagues to have played more key passes than Alexander-Arnold (1 more) is possibly the best creative player on the planet - Kevin De Bruyne. This is to tell you how naturallly gifted and blessed Arnold is.
Three years and nearly 100 Liverpool appearances since his debut, Trent is the youngest-ever player to start in two consecutive Champions League finals and one of the key men in Jurgen Klopp's side.
At the quite tender age of 21, along with fellow full back (and rival for king of the assist) Andy Robertson, he is one Liverpool's leading creative outlets. Without their full backs Liverpool simply would not function the same. Without Alexander-Arnold they would not be the same.
As worthily mentioned on Twitter, Alexander-Arnold has assisted the second-most shots of any player in Europe's top five leagues this season while only Kevin de Bruyne has played more key passes in total. With the latest incredible performance coming in the match against the supposed Liverpool rival for the league cup- Leicester city. Where he assisted two goals and scored himself.
So let Arnold be called the active football general and thus the war inclined commando of great things happening in Liverpool.
