Leandro Trossard reaches out to Mikel Arteta following subdued celebration from disappointed Arsenal player.
Leandro Trossard, the talented footballer, entered the field as a substitute in the match against Aston Villa and scored the first goal for Arsenal. In a post-match interview, he expressed his desire to be a starter for the team, especially after his impressive performance against Aston Villa. The Belgian player was signed by Mikel Arteta 18 months ago for a whopping sum of £27 million and has proven to be a valuable addition to the team.

Trossard had a great run during the previous season, but unfortunately, he has been warming the bench at the start of this season. This was despite Gabriel Martinelli's struggles with confidence. However, in the intense game against Aston Villa, with no signs of a goal, Trossard came to the rescue with his first touch, scoring a calm goal after receiving a deflected pass from Bukayo Saka. Surprisingly, he initially refrained from performing his signature celebration, looking rather serious. It was only after some encouragement from his teammate William Saliba that he finally acknowledged the fans.

Next week, Arsenal will be facing Brighton, Trossard's former club, and the skilled forward hopes to have convinced his manager to consider him for the starting lineup. He stated, "I think everyone wants to start games and play games, and then it's up to the player to respond. I always want to make an impact, whether it's as a substitute or a starter. Today, I believe I did my job to help the team, and there's not much more I can do in that aspect."

When asked if the competition for positions has been beneficial, Trossard replied positively, "Yes, definitely. You can see it on the pitch that I'm feeling great. I've shown that over the last few months, and it also helps the team. It pushes everyone in every position, and that's what a club like Arsenal needs."

The talented player is always eager to make an impact on the game, and he was pleased to have helped the team once again. He stated, "It's nice for me to have contributed to the team's win. I'm very happy with the goal and the victory." Regarding his subdued reaction after scoring, he revealed that his teammate Saliba had been constantly reminding him to do his celebration, and that's why he eventually did it. He added, "It's a great feeling when your teammates are happy for you, and I think we really needed that goal at that point in the game. It gave us the much-needed boost to go on and secure the win."

Trossard also emphasized the importance of competition within the team, saying, "It's something you have to develop. I understand the competition within the team, and it motivates everyone to reach the next level. I'm thrilled to have made an impact and helped the team win. It's a fantastic victory for us."

Finally, Trossard expressed his excitement for the future of Arsenal, saying, "I'm looking forward to the upcoming games and the progress of the team. I'm grateful for the support of our fans, and I hope we can continue to make them proud." With Trossard's determination and talent, along with the strong competition within the team, Arsenal is sure to have an exciting and successful season ahead.
