FIFA 21 will be released on October 9 this year
And EA Sports’ globally popular football game has introduced new gameplay to reflect the right-back’s impressive technique.
Players in wide positions will be able to utilise the new moves making it easier for strikers to finish from close range.
The new crossing techniques include:
WHIPPED CROSS – Inspired by TAA
R1/RB + L1/LB + ⬜/X – A ferocious bent ball will fly through the penalty box – ideal for strikers to nod past the keeper.
DRIVEN CROSS
R1/RB + ⬜/X – Not so different from whipped crosses but fired in at waist height instead. Perfect for a volley or glanced shot.
GROUND DRIVEN CROSS
R1/RB + ⬜/X then ⬜/X – A rapid ball delivered along the ground.
FIFA 21 is released on October 9 – delayed from its usual September launch because of coronavirus.
Fans will also hope direct free-kicks have been improved after widespread criticism of them in FIFA 20.
Gamers can also expect new features including agile dribbling, tactical players having bigger impacts on the game, better natural collisions and improved player animations.
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy previously praised Alexander-Arnold for his excellent ball work and even compared him to football icon David Beckham.
Murphy told TalkSport: “Trent’s display of passing and technical ability that we’ve not seen in a full-back for many, many years.
“Trent, for me, is as good a crosser of the ball I’ve seen since Beckham.”
