How did he utilize his time during a lockdown?

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the footballers were on a subsequent break from football. 

Having to quit the game in the middle of the season was not easy for Leandro. To distract himself from missing football, he invested his time in his family, trying to enjoy every moment with them. 

He built a LEGO Taj Mahal by himself to keep himself busy, which took over a week to put together 10256 LEGO bricks. 

At the same time, he also realized it was a chance to enjoy every little thing in life, the things that people could not appreciate because of their busy schedules.

His mother, his lifetime supporter

Leandro was born in a middle-class family to his parents, mother Linda Scheepers, and father, Peter Trossard. 

He was brought up with his four years younger sister Lindsay Trossard in the small town of Belgium called Lanklaar. 

According to his mother, Linda, Leandro grew up kicking up everything that came in his way in the house, which was the early sign of becoming a footballer. 

He started playing football at the age of eight. Unfortunately, his parents got divorced while he was quite young. 

Despite the divorce of his parents, he remains close to his family. His mother and his grandfather drove him back and forth for the training and competitions.
