Trent Alexander-Arnold: "I Owe Everything To Klopp."
On this week’s episode on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, we are joined by Liverpool and England star Trent Alexander-Arnold.
We join Trent as he returns from injury in the closing stages of the 23/24 season that has already seen Liverpool win the League Cup and in contention to win the Premier League and Europa League in Jurgen Klopp’s final season.
The boyhood Liverpool star reveals what the dressing room was like when Klopp announced his departure, the influence the German boss has had on his career and how much a title would mean to him, the club and city.
At just 25 years-old Trent has established himself as one of the world’s best players and has won every major trophy he’s competed in and following a disappointing 22/23 season he tells how his mindset changed over the summer.
Trent also takes on Gary at darts whilst answering quick-fire questions before finally talking about his After Academy, a charity he set up to help academy footballers who didn’t make it to the professional game.

Gary's skill is that his self-deprecation allows his guest to let their guard down and speak honestly with vulnerability. This is what makes his podcasts and interviews so insightful and refreshing.

Yeah and considering how guarded Trent is normally (with good reasoning, considering he’s had a long term stalker trying to ruin his life) for him to have Gary in his home and open up completely to him is pretty special.
This was absolutely fantastic. You can tell Trent would sit and chat to Gary for hours about football and he isn't afraid to show that he is interested in knowing more about that United team during the 2000s when he was growing up. I really hope England use this guy as he's approaching his prime years, a special talent.
Gary Neville constantly downplays how good a player he actually was. That says a lot about his character. He’s got his flaws like the rest of us but intuitively you always get the feeling that he’s a genuinely good guy.
@duckers5120

People see it as downplaying but I think he’s just being honest, the way he played full back compared to how full back is played now in a successful team is night and day, not to take anything away from him he was a great player, but he would definitely struggle in today’s game.

The insight TAA gives into Klopps tactics is prime viewing ! I was fascinated
Ripping young man I hope he has a long career at Liverpool with continued success, will never forget the corner against Barca wow what a moment.
Gary, unbelievable 👏🏻 you have a great talent in making these superstars feel at ease & they talk with freedom not like we see in the interviews elsewhere. Love it. Love Trent. Different class
a natural , normal conversation with a present player. so rare. great job
Trents face when Gary casually talked about winning 6 league titles with his brother was priceless. He's part of a team that has hit 90+ points and failed. He just KNOWS if he played in the late 2000s he'd have had 7+ titles too!
That was one of the best. Could listen to them two talk about being right backs for hours. Mutual respect quite clear to see.
This is a class episode! Trent is such a well spoken and humble lad. Gary’s respect for him shows - same position but different style…such a brilliant interview
Most level headed and down to earth lad! No joke I wish people could meet him he’s boss! The future is his! He will be labelled the top 3 best right back ever I guarantee it!
He is a really good guy...asking what it felt like when Gary's brother left ManU...Empathy right there❤
Didn't expect to be such a chill chat between them. I really enjoyed the interview, it was rather a dialogue. Loved the fact that Trent also was genuinely interested in Gary experience, views and opinions
Fantastic interview. Loved how engaged Trent was with the whole process. What a gem. Props to Gary too for creating an atmosphere where Trent was able to speak freely.
Poor Gary, it doesn’t matter where he goes, he gets trolled. But seriously, he is so self deprecating it’s almost criminal. And for me, that’s why I like him, he can always laugh at himself. He seems so secure. Great show today.

I don't want to sell him, but what I want and what makes financial sense to the club are two completely different things.
Driven respectful and supremely talented. England as so often the case have completely missed the boat with Trent so far
I feel like Roy said ….” Hey Trent …ask Gary how he’s always getting into everyone’s business at the club “ 😂😂what a great interview. Trent is amazing to watch as a young player for his club and England 🏴 so looking forward to Euros 2024 🙌🏻👏🏻🙏🏼♥️
Trent also telling us more but Jurgen made my day ❤. I really loved when he said Klopp doesn't want us to be the best team in the world but the most difficult team to be beaten. I really appreciate want Klopp has really done for us. YNWA ❤

That was amazing, well done Gary. Trent’s a really intelligent football mind - would love to see him as a pundit when its all done, super bright. Loved that interview, loved the questions trent had too, he’s clearly football mad
What a top lad Trent seems to be. Really enjoyed this - hate to say it but Gary Neville is a ledge.
I'm so impressed by this guy. First time hearing him in-depth like this. What a fantastically level headed young man and I love how he was genuinely interested in asking Gary questions too. A top pro, great example to young kids and needless to say, an amazing player! 👏
One of the best I’ve seen of any podcast. The two bits just chatting about the evolution of the game and the end when Trent asks about Phil. Brilliant stuff
Loved the way Gary carried out whole interview and I think Trent can be good manager in future the way he explains footballing concept is perfect
So good. And even as a United supporter, can't help but respect Trent. He comes across so well and does such impressive work on- and off the pitch.
The boss thing about Gary is that theres nothing Trent (or other players) can say to him that he doesnt already know but its the fact that players can open up to Gary knowing that he will get it and just give his honest non bias opinion. Respect all around. Keep up the boss work overlap #YNWA

One of the best interviews ive seen in a while. It felt so genuine and real.
I can see TAA taking Gary's place when his playing career ends. He's thoughtful, knowledgeable and able to fluently express his opinions. A future killer pundit! Watch out Carra!
This was a brilliant interview with Trent, Gary! Class insight on his career. Great to see two completely different RB's from two different generations have a chat about the evolution of the position over the years. Keep these coming👍
Neville is very good at these conversations. So refreshing from press conferences/post match interviews where the main goal of the media is to get a reaction or headline
Trent comes across a real good lad, just a humble eager kid wanting to learn and be his best. Proper sportsman
It’s mad how much hate he has put up with over the years from salty immature rival fans.. even some of our own so called fans have gone after him unfairly.. this is what we do to our stars in England, Trent is supremely gifted, best passing and crossing technique and football IQ in the world alongside people like KDB.

Gary plays down his talent so much. So down to earth. He was a hell of a player and great captain
You see how much Gary loves Trent as a player and respects what he does. Gary is a top top man!
So much better than most football podcasts because yes Gary has a structure planned but he gives space for the player to fully answer, doesn't rush on to the next topic and let's the conversation flow off on tangents. He also actually listens to the answers when so many interviewers show that they haven't listened by asking a later question that has already been covered.
When I saw him make his comeback last match, I thought that might make Liverpool fans more optimistic. Conor Bradley has been adequate but he’s too lightweight and untried. A fit Trent is like a beacon of hope for the last 7 or so games.

This got better and better as it went on. The ending segment was especially good. Very interesting to hear how Gary had anxiety before the games throughout his 600-game career and just kind of got on with it. And then you hear how these freak talents like Trent and Rooney are the opposite and can't wait to express themselves on the pitch. I agree with them that they should start a podcast! Could've listened to more of this!
I need someone like Gary to speak to in every day life about my problems, how refreshing to see someone allowed too speak without interruption.
Great show.Two of the best.Hated Neville as player against Liverpool but he doesn't get the credit he deserves.What a guy Trent is though YNWA ❤
Good interview. Good interaction between the two & a mutual liking & respect between them, The lad is a very thoughtful guy, very grounded & looking to improve as a player. Seems to be quite caring as well with his academy work.
