Leandro Trossard's father recently expressed his disappointment with Belgium's manager, Domenico Tedesco, stating that he believes Tedesco is not a good coach. This criticism comes after Trossard was left out of the starting lineup for Belgium's match against Romania, with Sevilla's Dodi Lukebakio taking his place.
Trossard, who had scored in both of Belgium's warm-up games prior to Euro 2024, started in their first group-stage game against Slovakia, but unfortunately, the team suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat. Trossard's father, Pierre, believes that his son's poor performance in that game was due to a lack of guidance from Tedesco.
In an interview with Belgian outlet De Morgen, Pierre stated that it is difficult for a player to maintain a consistent performance when they are constantly being moved around on the field. He also expressed his belief that Tedesco is not the right coach for Belgium, although he did acknowledge that Tedesco is not as stubborn as previous coach Roberto Martinez.
Despite being benched for the second game against Romania, Trossard did come on as a late substitute. However, he missed several clear chances to score, which may have cost the team a more comfortable victory.
Fortunately, Belgium did manage to secure a 2-0 win over Romania, putting them back on track to advance to the knockout stages. With all three teams in Group E tied on three points, Tedesco's side just needs to avoid defeat in their final group-stage fixture against Ukraine to secure a spot in the round of 16.
After the game, Tedesco expressed his relief at the win and praised the team's potential. He also acknowledged that the upcoming match against Ukraine will be a difficult one. Despite missing some chances in the game against Romania, Tedesco was pleased with the team's mentality and their ability to create scoring opportunities.
In the end, Tedesco's decision to bench Trossard may have been a risky one, but it ultimately paid off with a crucial win for Belgium. As they continue their journey in the tournament, the team will need to maintain their focus and take advantage of any chances they get in order to achieve success.
