Football doesn’t wait in the Premier League. Arsenal already begins their year 2025 in a few minutes against Brentford. Mikel Arteta spoke about Leandro Trossard at a press conference.
In recent months, Leandro Trossard has confirmed his starting place with Arsenal. However, the relationship with Mikel Arteta has not been smooth sailing, particularly due to the strong character of the Limburger.
But that’s not a problem for the Gunners coach. Asked about his striker at a press conference, he was satisfied with his contribution: “Over the last twelve months, he has shown a lot of consistency and he deserves it.”
Versatile and determined
“With us he played as a left winger, as an attacking midfielder, he played as a number nine. He is a player that I really like because he is very versatile, very competitive and he is always a goal threat huge for the team” continues Arteta.
“Obviously, there is a lot of competition in his position, but that’s how it is. You have to raise the level, and if he reaches that level, he will play” he then declared. The Spanish coach was also questioned about the unique character of the Red Devil.
“Leo is obviously a bit of a complainer, but I like it because he’s very competitive. Even in training, he’s always bitching about the referee because he wants to win. And that’s what I like. He always wants to be the best, and when he’s not, he’s not happy. That’s what motivates him: when he gets on the pitch, he can have that impact to show you what he’s made of. capable” rejoiced Arteta.
