Playing Style & Assessment
Trusa is a forward who can offer both aerial threat and finishing in the box thanks to his 1.88 m frame, and who has proven his productivity with his goal figures at DAC. His height and his timing of runs into position are the core traits feeding his threat inside the area.
Strengths
- Goalscoring — 22 goals in 60 appearances at DAC is a proven finishing rate at league level.
- Aerial command — At 1.88 m he is a clear advantage inside the box and on set pieces.
- Youth-level output — 9 goals in 15 caps for Slovakia’s U21s reflects a scorer’s identity at international level too.
Development Areas
- Step up to the senior side — Despite his U21 output, a regular place with the senior national team is not yet proven.
- Movement in play — His classic penalty-box forward profile means his fit in systems that stretch across wide areas needs watching.
- Consistency — Sustaining goalscoring across a full season will be decisive in stepping up a level.
Level Projection
Verdict: A tall centre-forward who produces goals in the Slovak league; a profile that could be considered by mid-table Turkish Süper Lig sides looking for a forward with strong finishing inside the box.
