Club World Cup Group H Round 1, Real Madrid vs Riyadh Crescent. The score of 1-1 revealed the number one upset since the start of the Club World Cup. For Real Madrid stars, the premiere of the Club World Cup was not satisfactory. Arnold, 26, was disappointing, and made mistakes in the whole game and was far from entering the state.
On June 1, Real Madrid paid Liverpool a transfer fee of 10 million euros and signed Arnold one month in advance for the purpose of the Club World Cup. In the match against Crescent, Arnold started without any suspense. In front of 62,415 spectators at Hard Rock Stadium, Arnold ushered in Real Madrid's debut.
Whether it is "Trent" or "Arnold", his advantages and disadvantages are very obvious: his defensive back-chasing awareness is weak and his sense of position is poor; he has a long pass ability in the counterattack, and his crossing method is accurate. However, Arnold's debut in Real Madrid did not show his advantage, but instead made consecutive mistakes.
65 minutes of playing time, Arnold passed twice and once successfully, lost the ball 12 times, and only succeeded in 4 ground confrontations. On the social platform, some fans produced highlights to point out the problem of Arnold:
Arnold had a poor foot feeling and tried to cross from the right, but unfortunately he did not pull out the height and was easily cleared by the crescent moon.
On the right, Arnold tried to speed up and get rid of the extraordinary. Faced with the entanglement of the Crescent defender, Arnold's strong breakthrough did not work and he also lost the ball.
Crestor Lodi scored 1 goal, but was beaten offside first and was invalid. In this defense, Arnold lost his position and failed to keep up with Lodi without exerting any pressure.
Arnold tried several long passes, but basically ended in failure.
Creen Moon's counterattack hit the right guarded by Arnold. If Fran Garcia hadn't struggled to catch up and intercept, Real Madrid might have conceded the goal. Look at Arnold - lose his position and run at low speed throughout the whole process. This kind of defense is obviously unqualified.
The British Times commented that Arnold was busy with defense in his debut, and he rarely had the opportunity to show his set-piece skills. Facing wide-range attackers of Dosari and Lodi, Arnold's defense was a bit overwhelmed, and only 1 success in five confrontations. Arnold, who is worth 75 million euros, failed to make his debut in Real Madrid.
Creen Moon coach Inzaghi's offensive idea is to let Dosari and Lodi join forces to attack Arnold's right, which is very effective - Arnold's defensive ability is poor, which is a problem for Liverpool over the years. When he comes to Real Madrid, Alonso has to find a way to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
For Arnold's debut, coach Alonso did not tell the details, but congratulated him on the first game of Real Madrid. Alonso knew very well that Arnold was a double-edged sword. How to use him was a difficult task that required repeated polishing and research.
