He wore the number 10 as Trent, but now he's had a new brawl and this is his sad future

Without any of Manchester City's five treble winners in the starting XI but with Trent Alexander-Arnold in fine form, England needed just the first 45 minutes to put the game to bed against Malta. The Liverpool player's genius opened the scoring from the opening whistle, and he was in total control of the game from the kick-off.

While Jürgen Klopp had used the England international in a hybrid position between right-back and playmaker in the closing stages of the season, Gareth Southgate deployed Trent Alexander-Arnold directly as a deep-lying midfielder. The Three Lions' '10′ brought his masterful right foot out for a stroll and set up Bukayo Saka with a 30-yard pass. The Arsenal winger cut into the box and, after delivering the ball into the heart of the area for Harry Kane to slot home, home defender Ferdinando Apap stepped up and scored into his own net.

With the score at 0-1 after eight minutes, it was a long time coming, but it arrived. Once again, Trent Alexander-Arnold was in the thick of it. The Liverpool player's right-footed shot from the edge of the box after great play from James Maddison doubled the lead for Gareth Southate's side. It was a stunning goal, in the 28′, that preceded the penalty that was won, taken and scored by Harry Kane just a minute later.

The problems of the 10

Another player who wore the number 10 as a trendt was the Italian Mario Balotelli who also played for Liverpool but now lives a complicated moment since it was revealed that he had a fight in Switzerland where he ended up hitting even the manager of his club so now he will be without a team and could even end his career.
