The right-wing defender who still lives with his mother and brothers will face the most difficult opponent possible, with Cristiano Ronaldon.

I grew up near Melwood. I always played soccer with my friends and brothers at school, I played for three local teams on the weekend.” starts telling Arnold.

Trent Alexander - Arnold

As a child, I used to go to Melwood and watch them prepare for the League Champions League games, such as Gerard, Carragher and Alonso.

How did Arnold become part of Liverpool?

It's an interesting story. I was almost six years old, and Liverpool hosted a summer camp. They sent a number of invitations to my school when they asked who wants to join the camp and fortunately raised my name.

I went to a 30-minute training session and one of the scouts or coach went and told my mother that you could bring my son two or three times a week here?

How important is it to be a local hero?

It's very important. I grew up to see Gerard and Carragher, local players who were inspiring to me and motivation at the same time.

Arnold still lives with his family, which has helped him to get to where he is.

I live with my mother and brothers. They're against one of my moves now because many young players have left the family very early. They start taking money and thinking that they can handle it on their own, but then they find it wrong. Without them I wouldn't be where I am today.

The 19-year-old will play against five times the winner of the Golden Cup, but he is willing to test himself against the best.

“As a player you'd always want to test yourself against the best players and I hope to have this opportunity in Kiev. /Periscope/
