Luke Chambers, a young player for Liverpool, acknowledged after making his own full debut that he has been inspired by teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold’s journey from academy standout to first team regular.
On Thursday, Chambers, 19, made his Europa League debut starting as left back for Liverpool against Toulouse. On the other side, Alexander-Arnold led the Reds to a convincing 5-1 triumph.
Chambers, who made his Liverpool debut earlier this season as a substitute against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup, was making his first-ever start. After the match, the young player talked candidly about how his teammate and fellow full-back had guided him.Since I was six years old, I’ve dreamed of this day,” Chambers said to TNT Sports following the match. “I can’t even begin to express how happy I am to have won too. I spent some time with my family last night after learning that I was playing. The truth set in.
The teenager continued, “Trent’s done what I aspire to do.” “We academy lads have a stepping stone to go and reproduce it by watching Trent do it. There isn’t a more admirable person I could ask for.After the win, Alexander-Arnold showered Chambers with praise. Liverpool dominated, but following Diogo Jota’s early goal, they were momentarily pushed back. Prior to the half, goals by Wataru Endo and Darwin Nunez gave the team a 3-1 lead. In the second half, Ryan Gravenberch and Mohamed Salah also scored.
Alexander-Arnold remarked, “I realized that it had been seven years yesterday since my debut.” “I still recognize the precise sensation. Every time he’s been with the club, both on and off the field, he has been exceptional. He has tremendous potential and is an absolutely fantastic player. He’ll undoubtedly enjoy a memorable evening with his family.
