Leandro Trossard has faced a challenging start to the season at the Emirates, struggling to secure significant game time. Despite this, he received a call-up to the Belgium national team for the current international window, even with an abundance of attacking talent available to the squad.
Hoping to make a strong case for his return to the Arsenal starting lineup, Trossard might have anticipated a noteworthy performance during the international break. However, this aspiration did not come to fruition.
Belgium faced Azerbaijan in their initial match of the window, a fixture where they were widely expected to dominate given the considerable disparity in quality between the two teams. Surprisingly, the Red Devils secured victory by just a single goal.
Several key Belgian stars, including Trossard, failed to deliver their usual level of performance, drawing criticism from former international player Philippe Albert.
He tells Sud Info:
I saw that Tedesco covered the latter somewhat in the press conference, but the Arsenal player often did the complete opposite of what he should have done. That is to say, turn his opponent around instead of dropping back like he almost always did.
“There’s no point in coming to get the ball at Tielemans’ level. There are enough players on the halfway line to do the dirty work. If, after hitting the post at the very start of the game, Trossard slipped into relative anonymity, he owes it only to himself.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Trossard has not had a good start to the season, but it is still very early in the campaign and he certainly can get better.
The Belgian is a player we are sure we would need at some point in the campaign as he can make a huge impact on the team.
Every player at times plays below par. It normal.
Give Trossard a break.
No surprise, getting less and less game time. Not match fit or sharp.
Exactly
Trossard scores today👌
It’s silly and laughable how small minds work. They use very shallow, superficial assessments and pass them for intelligent, informed analysis of situations.
Firstly how in the name of football, has Trossard had a bad start to the season? Secondly, when Trossard is played in midfield because several big names in the national team are missing, cohesion and efficiency become difficult to attain, and that’s not one player’s doing. Why are some people bent on maliciously attacking good, faithful key players at Arsenal while purporting to be fans? The levels of bias against foreign players is so utterly disgusting one runs out of superlatives to describe it.
Same Trossard you call out scored an 18 min blinder in the subsequent 5 – 0 demolition of Estonia.
I haven’t really followed Belgium lately but I believe they are in a transition.several players of the so called golden generation have retired from international football.
