France manager critical of star defender
France manager Didier Deschamps has , in a surprising turn of events been publicly critical of defender William Saliba. The Arsenal man is widely recognised as one of the best defenders in the world but hasn't been able to nail down a spot for his national team.
"He is having a good season, but he also does things that I don’t like so much. For France, he has limited game time, but when he plays, that hasn’t necessarily gone well. The hierarchy doesn’t favour him at the moment, but he is here. Dayot Upamecano has had game time and perhaps William has had less. With certain players, I make sure to persevere, because it can be confidence or little blockages that can shift. Some don’t have any concerns, some need game time. William has had less game time, so that doesn’t allow him to be very calm,” said Deschamps at a press conference on Monday.
