"I can't say I'm surprised. He is a very intelligent boy, who understands the game very well and quickly understands what we want from him. He is not the typical full-back who will always be wide, but he can also play inside. For us, we are lucky to have a player like that. Having Gonzalo in the area, he could look for crossing situations."
"I've been watching a great version of Vinicius for a month, not just this game. He has been playing games of a very high level, unbalancing opponents. For me, he is a player who goes beyond numbers, who is capable of conditioning matches. He's a guy with a big heart and a great team-mate. It's lucky to have him."
Trent Alexander-Arnold joined Real Madrid on a free transfer and has made 10 appearances, including six LaLiga starts. He registered his second LaLiga assist by delivering a pass that set up Gonzalo Garcia's opening goal in a 4-1 win over Real Sociedad. Alexander-Arnold combines intelligence and tactical versatility, able to play wide or inside, and will be given increased involvement as fixtures intensify ahead of the Champions League play-off with Benfica. Vinicius Junior won and scored two penalties in the same match, becoming the first player since Neymar in October 2015 to do so, and has been performing at a high level.
