TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD

As long as possible, I want to have that relationship with Liverpool, to be a Liverpool player. To say I have done that for the whole of my career is something I have dreamed of being able to say.

The most important thing for me is education, and my family were really supportive in making sure I did the best I could.

Obviously, it's important for any team that wants to be really successful to try to have the best players that they possibly can in all positions, and I think Alisson is definitely one of the best in the world in his position.

In training, you can push yourself to the limit and test yourself against the best players in the world. That is when the pressure is really on, and they are the moments when you either improve, or you don't.

That's the most proud I have been: Seeing my family at the World Cup and them being able to watch me play and making them proud of me.

That is probably the best thing to do: look back on the harder games you've had, the tougher games, learn what I didn't do well and what I could have done better.

My mum and dad pushed me to work hard in my earlier years in education.

The role I play is defending, so you've got to be doing that first and foremost. The better you can get it will help the team and help you progress, and I work on that every day.

I started playing football with my mates and my brothers, in the playground or the park or the front garden. It was just about enjoying it, having a good time playing. I wanted to play all the time.

Technology is playing an increasingly important role in the life of a footballer, and I guess that is true across most sports now.

Every defeat hurts.

Emotion is a good thing, but top level football can be tough, and you have to be in control.

Not many people can say their family has seen them play at a World Cup.

Football and chess can seem like sporting polar opposites, but there are so many similarities with the modern game.

You have to go out there and focus on yourself and not who you are up against.

I try not to pay too much respect to the players I am playing against.

You are brought up to realise that there will always be tough times in football and that nothing is ever straight forward.

There are always opportunities at Liverpool.

It's always great to see someone's life change for the better, and to be involved in something like that is really uplifting for me.

There's something special about the Champions League, and it's always been a dream to play in that competition.

It's not important to me where I'm playing, just as long as the manager is happy and trusting me to go out on the pitch.

I always supported Liverpool. My whole family did!

It's something you dream of. It's very special to play in the Merseyside derby and, especially, win.

Liverpool are special.

To beat City twice is no easy feat.
