Liverpool officially announced: Defensive player Arnold officially leaves the team, the next stop for Real Madrid, connects to Bellingham

"Trent left Liverpool."

Yes, the "Prince" who has been speeding on the right side of Anfield since he was 17, crossing like a knife and corner kick like an arrow really said goodbye to us.

The news was not sudden, but when Liverpool officials really sent out the sentence: "Trent Alexander Arnold has notified the club that they will leave the team after the contract expires", someone was still silent in the comment area for a long time.

20, from the youth training camp to the team's deputy England international, this was not a transfer, but the final chapter of a red sentiment.

Many people may only remember his god-level data with assists: 23 goals and 96 assists in 352 games, the first defender with 60+ assists in Premier League history, but Arnold's significance is far more than that.

He is the creator of "the 4-0 Barcelona reversal", a teammate who fed Salah 10 times, a "England's No. 10 right-back", and even the moving midfield engine in Klopp's tactics.

He chose to leave, not a sudden idea. In March, his agent team privately told Liverpool management: "This will be his last season."

And on the night when Liverpool won the Premier League four rounds ahead of schedule, Arnold posted a meaningful social media post, "Use love to complete the last dance."

This situation is very similar to the shadow of Irving's departure back then?

But the difference is that when Arnold left, he had already won all the honors that Liverpool could get. He is not a deserter, but more like a "Red Army student" who graduated successfully. He decided to step out of his comfort zone and go to Madrid to test his limits.

Real Madrid is indeed an attractive place to go. Carvajal has torn a cruciate ligament, and the right back needs reinforcement urgently. Arnold's passing and control scheduling ability just fills the gap left by Cross's retirement. He has "came" as the rhythm controller in the midfield many times under Klopp - the leap from defense to midfield, which is no stranger to him.

And there is another Englishman who is driving this transfer: Bellingham.

They are old friends of the national team and have talked about the possibility of fighting side by side at Real Madrid as early as the training camp. Now, this vision may become a reality.

Of course, going to Real Madrid is not an easy task. Vinicius and Mbappe have never escaped the pickiness of Bernabeu fans; Irving and Woodgate have left behind the precedents of "not adapting to the local environment". But on the other hand, Bellingham is now doing well, who dares to say that Arnold cannot copy it?

In fact, there have never been few criticisms of him. When commenting on the Double Red Club, Keane even said, "He can only play in England's fourth-level league", because of the fact that he conceded 27 goals and his defensive position became a mystery.

But at the same time, he cleared four clearances and four steals against Chelsea, completed nine steals and 12 confrontations against Brighton, and scored a final decision against Leicester City's substitute and won the MVP. If you say he can't defend, he will use the data to hit you back.

Leaving, perhaps to prevent talent from being killed by the label box of "Right Back to Defense Poor". He understands his shortcomings and is also "making up for shortcomings" on the training ground - and Real Madrid gives him a stage to redefine himself.

8 million euros annual salary after tax, 6-year contract, plus signing fees and possible compensation - Real Madrid was not a part of the fun. They identified this all-rounder who can attack, pass, and enter the midfield organization. The time node of the Club World Cup is getting closer and closer, and the Galaxy Battleship hopes to finalize the transaction as soon as possible.

For Red Army fans, there is no betrayal or financial conflict this time. Unlike Irving's departure back then, Arnold left with honor and curtain call. He won respect and won the freedom to continue flying high.

So, this is not "departure", it is more like a long voyage from Anfield.

Will you bless Arnold? Do you want him to reshape the legend in Real Madrid, or are you more worried that he will enter the old path of his predecessors?
