France failed to win that game, but L’Equipe insists Saliba stood out, and they rated him 7/10/, adding:
“He was surely the one who had the most to play for in the starting eleven. He was in line with his most recent performances in blue: serene, first quality kicker and reassuring defensive interventions. He saved a goal by coming to cut off a cross from David (79th)”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Saliba has struggled on the international stage for a long time, and it is great to see him begin to show his best form for Les Bleus.
If he wants to be recognised as one of the best in the world, he must also do well for his country.

The France coach has been hindering saliba’s progress by not giving him a chance in the starting line up,but the player has been upto the task any time,anyday
A seven from L’Equipe is worth a nine anywhere else, so high praise indeed.
…and I’m looking forward to seeing him at Euro next week. France has the best team with the best coach and for me are clear favourites.
Saliba is one of the best defender in the world,and deserves a place in the starting line up for France. He is a brilliant defender.
Weldone William you should prove your Coach wrong why he was leaving out the first team. Keep your confidence you will make it remember you are still very young at 23 you still have many years ahead of you.
