“He’s terrible.” Courtois comments on training with Trent
Trent Alexander-Arnold is settling into life at Real Madrid, and his teammates have already formed their first impressions of what he’s like in training. Thibaut Courtois considers him simply terrible.
Details: But it’s all about his thunderous strikes, which, as a goalkeeper, give Courtois plenty of headaches. At the same time, they push him to work even harder. And Trent himself could have already scored a few goals for Real.

Quote: “I think he could have already scored a couple of goals in these four matches. His pre-assist in the match against Pachuca was excellent too. In training, he’s terrible—in the sense that his shots are simply unbelievable. His free kicks and corners are on a completely different level.
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with that kind of quality in shooting and deliveries. As a goalkeeper, sometimes it’s a real nightmare. But it keeps you sharp, makes you work harder—you try to save his shots, so both he and you can become even better,” Courtois said in an interview with DAZN.
