'​Scouse mentality' can make Alexander-Arnold great - Liverpool coach Lijnders

Liverpool coach Pep Lijnders has stated his belief that Trent Alexander-Arnold can become a legend at Anfield.

Alexander-Arnold grabbed headlines on Tuesday after scoring a stunning free-kick during Liverpool's 2-1 UEFA Champions League qualifier victory against Hoffenheim.

Ljinders said: "Talent without fire is like a Ferrari without fuel... and fire is something that Trent has.

"First, always comes love for the ball, the game and love for training. Passion and ambition is the starting point of everything that counts.

"Every talent inside our club must unfold itself by showing that desire and fighting. Trent does this in every single session. He has that Scouse mentality to go to, and over, the limits on the pitch."
