Schmeichel: Alexander-Arnold should be welcomed back as a hero, Carragher: Fans have the right to express their anger

When he returned to Anfield for the first time after joining Real Madrid, Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed by thousands of Liverpool fans. In the CBS program, former Manchester United goalkeeper Schmeichel expressed his indignation at the treatment suffered by Alexander-Arnold, while Liverpool star Carragher had a different opinion.

Schmeichel said: "I find this annoying, even disgusting. He has won all the trophies for the club and dedicated his 20-year career to them. He should be welcomed back as a hero."

■ Liverpool star Carragher disagrees with this.

Carragher said: "I don't agree with your point of view. Fans have the right to decide how they react. The reason why fans have negative emotions is because Arnold has been playing on the court with the attitude of 'I am a member of the fans' in the past 20 years. Those fans in the stadium will not choose to go to Real Madrid on a free transfer after the contract ends. Of course, this is his career and he only has one chance. He is young and very successful, that's OK."

"But if what he said is true, like 'Liverpool is my only team' and 'I want to be captain and become a club legend,' then he has just won the league and still has a chance to win more honors for the club. You don't leave when you're famous. You join a team that beat you in the Champions League final twice and you say you went there to win more Champions Leagues? "

"A lot of fans are angry because they feel that Alexander-Arnold's time at the club, especially in the past year, has made them a little bit. There were a lot of rumors about the contract issues of him, Salah and Van Dijk. The latter two have publicly expressed their desire to stay many times, but Trent has always remained silent. This is what makes the fans frustrated."

Arnold was placed on the bench in this game, which was his first return to the game since suffering a hamstring injury on September 16.
