Arsenal Football Club’s William Saliba has expressed dissatisfaction with the team’s 0-0 draw against Manchester City on Sunday. Following the Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium, both teams emerged with a single point each, allowing Liverpool to maintain its position at the top of the table.
With a mere nine games remaining in the season, the competition for the league championship is growing more intense. Arsenal currently holds second place, with just one point ahead of Manchester City and two points behind Liverpool.
Despite managing to maintain a clean sheet during the match, Saliba conveyed his frustration at not being able to secure a full three points for his team. In an interview with Sky Sports, Saliba stated, ‘We cannot be satisfied when we draw, but it’s OK. We learn from some games. When we cannot win, we must not lose. That’s what we did well. So, we leave with one point but we are not satisfied.’
Saliba recognized the formidable challenge posed by the world-renowned Manchester City, and acknowledged the support and teamwork of his teammate Gabriel Magalhaes, as well as the collective effort of the entire team in their defensive performance.
Pundit Micah Richards commended Saliba and Magalhaes for their exceptional defensive display, particularly in containing Erling Haaland. Despite the draw, Richards expressed disappointment in Manchester City’s performance in the final third of the pitch, emphasizing the defensive efforts of Saliba and Gabriel.
