Recently, Trossard's former coach Peter Metz accepted an interview with "Het Belang van Limburg". He was surprised by the players' current performance.
This season, Trossard's statistics are very eye-catching. In 14 appearances in all competitions, he has scored 4 goals and contributed 4 assists, including a wonderful goal against Sunderland in the away game before the international break. His two goals in the Premier League directly earned the team valuable 4 points, including the second-half winning goal against Fulham on October 18.
Peter Metz was Trossard's early coach at Genk. He expressed surprise at the player's transformation. He recalled a young man who did not yet have leadership qualities at the time: "At that time, I did not immediately see that Trossard could become a real captain, because he was mainly focused on his own game, at least when I trained him. He has not yet become a regular starter, and is often unhappy in training. Maybe from He has changed since then, because his performance at Arsenal is very good. "
"Indeed, Trossard is a person with a strong personality. In this regard, he is a candidate for the captain of the Belgian national team, especially considering those who are absent. He believes in himself and can pass this belief to the entire team. "
If Trossard can become the captain of the Belgian national team, it will be a huge change. With De Bruyne out injured and regular captain Tielemans unavailable, Rudi Garcia may hand over the national team captaincy to Trossard.
