Liverpool youth training flag Trent Alexander Arnold bid farewell to Anfield this summer and officially joins Real Madrid. The 26-year-old England right-back will see two significant changes in his Real Madrid jersey as he starts his La Liga career: the name behind the jersey will be simplified to "TRENT" and the number will be determined as No. 12. The direct reason for this change is the hard and rigid regulations of the La Liga - first-team players can only choose jerseys 1 to 25. This makes Alexander Arnold's exclusive No. 66 jersey, which has been in Liverpool since his emergence, cannot be continued at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid Club confirmed through social media today that the new player will wear the No. 12 jersey, which once belonged to the legendary Brazilian fullback Marcelo, and the previous owner was French midfielder Camavenga.
When asked about the change of jersey name at the debut ceremony, Alexander Arnold admitted that this was a decision based on actual experience. "My name always caused confusion during European competitions," he explained, "Three words, hyphenated 'Alexander Arnold', led to someone calling me Arnold, some calling Alexander, and some calling Alex or Trent... The situation is quite confusing. "
"Simplification is the most direct solution. The jersey print 'Trent ', everyone calls me that, it's clear." The England international added. To maintain consistency, its social media account has also been synchronized to "@trent ".
With the inheritance of the No. 12 jersey, Real Madrid fans will look forward to the new right-back continuing Marcelo's brilliant footprint and writing a new legendary chapter at the Bernabeu.
