Belgian winger Leandro Trossard is in great shape. He’s having a good season for Brighton & Hove Albion, with a hat-trick against Liverpool at Anfield being a standout performance. In addition, he was permitted to celebrate goals against Manchester City and Chelsea. Trossard believes he is ready for a starting spot on the Belgian national squad, which is aiming for gold in Qatar.
Belgian winger Leandro Trossard beleives he is in ‘the shape of his life’
In an interview with Het Laatste Nieuws, Trossard intended to go along with the phrase ‘the shape of his life’. “It went pretty well at the end of last season, but suddenly the goals are coming,” said the man who has already scored seven Premier League goals this season. This inevitably sparks speculation regarding a transfer and a reunion with his former Chelsea coach Graham Potter. Trossard did not respond, but he did want to discuss the World Cup.
When asked if his patience is being put to the test at the Red Devils? “I believe my performance is obvious, I deserve to play. But the final decision is up to the national coach. I can’t do much more than what I’m doing now; I play at a consistently high level and score. I’ve demonstrated that I can compete at a high level against the finest in the world. I am now prepared to compete for a starting position. If I’m not here today, I’ll never be,” Trossard asserts boldly.
He is confident in not only his own qualities, but also in those of his team. The small man sets a high standard. “With a fully fit core, we must aim for the pinnacle, which is the world title. That doesn’t mean it will succeed, but we have the team and the talent to win the World Cup.” Trossard is competing on the left wing with fallen superstar Eden Hazard.
At the World Cup, Roberto Martinez’s team will face Canada, Croatia, and Morocco. If they survive that group, the best matchup is likely to be in the round of 16, with the opponent coming from the group of Spain and Germany.
