Blackburn Rovers star dismisses fears after Man City example
Sondre Tronstad does not fear the risk of burning out after starting every Blackburn Rovers league games this season.
The Norwegian is one of only three players to have been named in every Championship XI this term. Aynsley Pears and Dom Hyam are the other ever-presents in the team.
Tronstad, though, has no worries about running out of steam or tiredness. In fact, he feels at his fittest when he’s put to the test and is loving his volume of action this term.
“I love playing, to be honest. I like to play as many games as possible and that is why I came here,” he explained.
“It gives me energy playing games, I don’t get tired, it’s more in the head for me with my mentality. I know I can play every game for 90 minutes.
“I feel better than in August. Everyone is different but playing more makes me stronger, I feel better in my body.
“Some players, Rodri for example, it’s 70, 80 games and that’s different. But for me, maybe 50? If I played 80, I’d probably say I am tired! Right now, I feel very good.
“It is a great group that welcomes everyone and wants to learn and improve.
“We have a great team spirit and atmosphere. Everyone gets on, players, staff and with the fans. We are all together.
“It does feel special and it shows on the pitch and it’s really massive.”
Tronstad has partnered Lewis Baker in the last four games having played all but one alongside Lewis Travis. It is a midfield unit where everyone continually pushes each other, in the eye of the stand-in captain.
“I think we’ve had only one game before where Trav was suspended against Hull and Baks played,” he stated.
“Playing with him is fantastic as well. He is a wonderful boy who has performed admirably wherever he has entered. He knows how to play because he has played a lot of games and has a lot of experience.
It’s fairly comparable. Although each person is unique, he is aware of his role and his responsibilities within the team. We’re establishing that connection.
Additionally, you have Bucko, a talented player who occasionally fills in on the bench. There are talented players behind Trav and me. There are many talented players.
