William Saliba: “The first season I arrived, we were playing incredible football. That was the season where I said we deserved the title. We finished second - as usual, people made fun of us.”
“The second season too, we were playing good football, finished second. People made fun of us, ‘Bottle, bottle’. Last season too, we were playing well, even if we weren’t playing as well as the first two seasons, we still finished second.”
“This season, even if I don’t agree with everything they say, as if there was only one team that was playing. Well, we’re playing football, except it’s true that sometimes we score a lot more from set-pieces.”
“Now, in the Premier League, you see everyone does long throws, focuses on corners, it’s NOT just us. We just do it better than the others, so we’re going to continue like this.” 🏆🇫🇷 [@lequipe]
🚨 Florentino Pérez plans to launch €150m official bid on Tuesday for Michael Olise.
Despite denying his name live, the main star in president’s mind is Olise — as @JBurtTelegraph@jfelixdiaz report.
Bayern’s Uli Hoeneß said in May “no chance to sell, not even for €200m”.
You are free to disagree with me, but as an Arsenal fan, I said it before that the game between PSG and Arsenal would be the game for Declan Rice to prove that he is a world-class player.
But let me ask you a question. What did you see Declan Rice do in that game that proved he is the best player in the world?
For me, world-class players separate themselves from everyone else in the moments when their team needs them the most.
Declan Rice played 120 minutes, and in the end, Gabriel took a penalty and missed it.
As one of the leaders on the pitch, I expected Declan Rice to step up and set the example. He said before, “It’s not over,” and I wanted to see him make sure it was not over.
For sure, I think the media should stop exaggerating players and calling them the best before they prove it.
Let their success do the talking.
Don't get me wrong, I love Declan Rice and I think he is a great player, but for me, he is not a world-class player.
