Six key passes in draw
Trossard recorded one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and six chances created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Iran.
Analysis: Trossard had a frustrated outing in Sunday's goalless draw with Iran, registering one shot, two tackles and six key passes across 90 minutes as the left forward in Belgium's attacking unit, coming closest in the first half when he fired narrowly wide from the edge of the area after a sharp combination with Kevin De Bruyne that briefly opened up Iran's left side. The Arsenal forward was largely peripheral for the remainder of the match as Iran's deep defensive block denied him the space to run in behind, and his inability to contribute more significantly in the areas where he had been most dangerous at club level summed up Belgium's collective. With Belgium needing to win against New Zealand, Trossard's ability to create and finish from wide left positions will be a key component of whatever attacking solution coach Rudi Garcia finds for the must-win final group game.
Records three shots
Trossard recorded three shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Egypt.
Analysis: Trossard was Belgium's most active wide threat in Monday's 1-1 draw with Egypt, registering three shots, one accurate cross and a consistent presence down the right flank that repeatedly created half-chances his side were unable to convert in a frustrating first half where they fell behind to Emam Ashour's long-range strike. The Arsenal winger drove at Egypt's backline on multiple occasions and created the clearest Belgian opportunity of the first half with a driven effort that was blocked just inside the area, but was ultimately unable to provide the decisive contribution his side needed against a resolute Egyptian defensive block. His ability to create danger from the right side and arrive into the box late will remain central to Belgium's attacking structure, and improving his shot accuracy against a deeper block will be essential when they face Iran.
