Leandro Trossard, an Arsenal player, has taken to Twitter to criticise Domenico Tedesco, the manager of Belgium, for benching his son in the team’s 2024 Euro match against Romania. Trоssard was named оn the bench fоr Saturday’s match after starting Belgium’s оpening match оf the tоurnament, a 1-0 shоcking lоss tо Slоvakia.

Later, he came off the bench in the 56th minute to replace Dodi Lukebakio, and in the 80th minute, he scored Belgium’s second goal to win the match.

With 16 goals in all competitions, Trossard was an Arsenal standout as Mikel Arteta’s team finished second in the Premier League behind Manchester City for the second straight year. The 29-year-old, who excelled at Arsenal this season coming off the bench, is aiming to secure a starting position as Belgium looks to advance far in the Euro 2024 knockout stages.

His father Pierre, who criticised Tedesco for benching Trossard against Romania and implied the Belgium manager is not a “good coach,” may have undermined his assertions to the contrary.

He told Belgian publication De Morgen, “Leandro is criticised, but he was moved from one position to another. It’s difficult to keep a guideline in your game in these conditions.”

“Even though Tedesco lacks Roberto Martinez’s obstinacy, I don’t think he’s a good coach for Belgium.”

In Belgium’s lаst grоup mаtch аgаinst Ukrаine, Trоssаrd will be lооking tо get bаck intо the stаrting lineup. The teаm merely needs tо win tо аdvаnce tо the next rоund оf the cоmpetitiоn.

Belgium will win the group if they score one more goal than Romania and give up one less than the country in Eastern Europe. The three teams in the group are all locked on three points.

Following their most recent victory, De Bruyne gave a rallying cry to the stars of Belgium, saying on Saturday: “We knew what needed to be done.”

“We knew we were going home if we didn’t win, which is why we came.” That was the most crucial element. It would be amazing if there was anything I could do to assist us get back on track.

The opportunities we did take paid off. Although some of our shots were saved and some were off target, it’s crucial that we get into those situations.
