People in these comments sobbing like a bunch of weakling smooth brain zoomers. These trolls can't do anything other than whine and make asinine statements and troll behind their screens.
Deschamps is the most successful manager in international football over the past decade. 2 World Cup finals and a Euro final as well. Including in 2022 when his side was decimated with injuries. But the entitled zoomer losers wanna whinge and moan and talk 💩as usual. These dunces are so brain dead they can't even comprehend the simple fact that every manager has their favorites and players they just don't fancy. Deschamps has enough credit in the bank not to be questioned by all these insufferable know-nothings. Crying because their man crush doesn't get in the team.
Deschamp is trying destroy saliva confidence🔥
Nicol was a world class CB in the 80's and knows a thing or to about defenders.
Today am with Steve
He doesn't like Arsenal players.
I think it’s a personal thing saliba will rise above this comment some people just got inner issues with themselves
Saliba refusing to stay in Marseille has everything to do with Didier animosity’s toward him. To play an average Pavard in CB position is mental when you have that many proper CB’s for France. As far as Arsenal is concerned, we will be okay with him to rest in the summer for next season, same as Ben to be honest.
Im not even an Arsenal fan but Saliba is up there with VVD
He makes thing personal. Clown dechamp 🤡
Stfu he’s won a World Cup home to a final . Won a nations league he knows more than all of you. England just always hype players from their country or league .. konate is better than him , upmaceno maybe not but he’s got to a final with him so he trust him, it’s simple . Saliba has made loads of mistakes for France when playing but English always ignore. Anyway konate starts and the rest is up for grabs
Saliba is one of the best defenders in world right now. Top 3 easily and I can argue about it all day long. Give me some name who is better than saliba.
Wish deschamp would get sacked he is not good. The ELITE squad he has the reason they won manager holding team back
Had it got something to do with the video of saliba and he's team mate ????
Didier is a world cup winner .. as a player and manager but to play upemacano above saliba is absolutely crazy …
I guess Nicol is knowing better French players than Deschamps does.😅Saliba is very good in PL but not delivered at International level yet. I'm pretty sure Deschamps wants to shake Saliba than hurt him. Some managers are cajoling their players (like Southgate) others are very demanding. Deschamps settled the duo Konate-Upamecano but Saliba could well play with one of both.
Saliba is one of the best defenders in the world right now! If I was him I'd do a ben white and not play for my country until they get rid of these clowns for managers!
No wonder why Benzema called Dechamps a coward😂
Frank is spot on regarding Les Bleus midfield. Overall they were so lethargic, maybe they're taking the friendly not too serious. Saliba Konate is a good combo. Mbappe was not in the mood where as Kolo Muani was electric. If you've been watching France for a long time that spark plug player like Grizou is missing big time. Chile played well, always nice to see Alexis. I'd be surprised if France will make it to Quarters let alone the Final. Allez Les Bleus!
Benzema Ribery and now Saliba
i mean saliba has been world class for arsenal, stevie’s right criticizing one of your players publicly is just wrong.
Let's see all gooners gather here for Saliba 🔴⚪
Deschamps is rapidly approaching the same end Yogi Lowe had for germany. Its clear time has passed him from his tactical stubbornness. This kind of result against Chile wouldve been worrying back in 2016 when they were actually a strong side. Having this result now is borderline alarm bells
When you too jealous of someone else, you will always find some teeny tiny problem from that person and criticise it.
I don’t think people understand that Deschamps has always been like this he always has problems with certain players. You can’t talk about experience on an international level when the kid is performing very very well in the best league in the world, I’m sure he will adjust just fine theirs clearly something else or he doesn’t like Saliba
Deschamps needs to be put in a home
Arteta destroys players.
Saliba is the best CD France has but deschamp has personal beef with Saliba. He’s young of course he can make mistake but Deschamp must be drinking koolaid
The 2 dm are the reasons why france suck
The coach is a hypocrite why doesn't he do the same thing with dembele a forward who cant score micheal olise is better than him
France are so predictable they play a 4 3 3 their line up is the same their midfield cant control the game mbappe only plays up the field he never plays behind the ball(defend) the middle is getting penetrated easily if they dont get gusto and olisé to the euros they will get embarrassed noone apart from griezmann is more creative than olise he will always get overlooked for playing for crystal palace gusto is better than kounde
Giroud is still chugging along
Credit where credit's due. Steve Nicol spitting fax!
Steve nicol acting like deschamps killed salibas whole family. Relax old man.
Deschamps doesn't like Saliba. Additionally, France needs a better 6 or DM/Cm.
Typical French colonial Mindset
France manager he has got the players he wants or love,the way he said to saliba,so badly,you break player confidence completely,so why you call him to the national team 😢😢
I noticed thet Deschamps does not totally build confidence on players that were great in a different league but not on their national team.
It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well), injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2027. We are referring to Modric, Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Arrizabalaga, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos" Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez, & Arda Guler.
Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027.
Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Malo Gusto
Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutierrez
Centre Back: William Saliba, Leny Yoro, Dean Huijsen
Main Striker: Kylian Mbappe
Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Walker (33), Trippier (33), Di Lorenzo (30), Cancelo (29), Dumfries (27), Mazraoui (26), Wan-Bissaka (26), White (26), Hakimi (25), Alexander-Arnold (25), Dalot (24), Porro (24), James (24), Frimpong (23), Couto (21), Sanchez (20) and Fresneda (19).
