Once again to his advantage against Poland, William Saliba had a more complicated post-match.
There are few reasons for satisfaction at the end of the group stage for the France team. If the Blues qualified for the round of 16, they had two sad draws against the Netherlands (0-0) and Poland (1-1) after their minimalist victory against Austria (1-0). ). The attackers’ record is particularly poor since the two French goals were scored by csc and from the penalty spot.
The defense of the Blues was much more convincing, as illustrated by William Saliba, who started against Austria in place of Ibrahima Konaté and was faultless in the three matches played by the vice-world champions. And if the French team ended up conceding a goal, it was also on a penalty.
The Blues bus did not wait for him
Against Poland, the Marseillais was once again generally very good in the air and solid defensively, even creating a good opportunity after a corner. The draw conceded by the Blues could nevertheless leave the Gunners player with a taste of unfinished business. And the post-match was also somewhat frustrating for the former Stéphanois.
Designated to undergo the traditional anti-doping control at the end of the match, William Saliba had all the difficulty in the world to satisfy the controllers present at Signal Iduna Park. So much so that the Blues bus had to leave without him, the Marseille native only leaving the Borussia Dortmund compound at 10:30 p.m. in a van. And this wait could be all the more frustrating for the French number 17 as it was time for the French players to reunite with their entourage for the first time in the competition.
