Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold examines a pair of the new Adidas Predator Moments football boots(Image: Pro Direct Soccer - Instagram)
Trent Alexander-Arnold announced a lucrative new contract the day after Liverpool’s last visit to Man City back in November 2023, having scored - at the time - a crucial goal for his boyhood club against the reigning Premier League champions.
I guess I always knew, I'd be back some day."
Adidas are now releasing the Predator Moments football boots, inspired by the footwear Alexander-Arnold adored as a child.
The actor playing the Liverpool vice-captain in the promotional video last season wore the original pair.
The new boots are inspired by legendary Adidas Predator players David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane.
And Alexander-Arnold was blown away when shown a pair of the new boots for the first time in a video released by Pro Direct Soccer.
“No, these are actually like, these are literally the boots that I grew up on.
You actually don’t realise the memories that this boot brings to me.”
Told to examine them further by lifting up the tongue on the right boot, Alexander-Arnold then read out the inscription, ‘Raise the roof here with a goal’, before being told it was the commentary from David Beckham’s free-kick against Greece.
“No, I know what goal that is!” Alexander-Arnold then said excitedly when inspecting the left boot.
For sure!”
We’ll find out on Sunday at the Etihad if Alexander-Arnold will debut the Predator Moments football boots against Man City.
His idol, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard was among the stars who used to wear the branded boots.
But it will not go unnoticed how the Predator Moments are inspired by two Real Madrid icons, with Alexander-Arnold speaking glowingly of the legendary Zinedine Zidane in particular.
His close-friend, Jude Bellingham, who is also an Adidas athlete, idolised the Frenchman himself and has admitted more than once that such adulation helped inspire his decision to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2023 from Borussia Dortmund.
