    So, I’m not entirely certain about what a false 9 is, but from the way it sounds, could Trossard play as a false 9?

    Go easy on me please. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I’m just curious.

      That’s one of his best positions. I think he also thinks it.

      I like to be in the pocket behind the striker. On the wings, I can explore myself as well. I’m comfortable in either of those positions but if I were to choose, behind the striker - but it all depends on the system. - Trossard.

      Don’t task him with leading the line. Put him behind that monolith of a striker to drive won second aerial balls, to shoot or even create. He’s not supposed to be tasked with the defensive work of the typical midfielder.

      He’s not playing there consistently because we can’t do it without two defensive-minded midfielders.
