Zapping Goal! Football club PSG – OM: top 10 Marseille scorers against Paris
The ASSE-trained Arsenal center-back said he was “proud to join one of the biggest French clubs” and is now “looking forward to playing at the Orange Vélodrome”.
Asked on behalf of the club’s official website, the native of Bondy, Paris region, came back to what Olympique de Marseille means to him. “In my family, despite the fact that I come from the Paris region, many are for OM. Obviously that’s a lot, it’s a very, very, big club, where you have to get your jersey wet. It’s a pride to be here ”.
Contacted by Jorge Sampaoli, the Argentinian manager told him he wanted him in his team, but above all wanted to help him improve. “He said that I was a good player, but that I had a lot of things to improve, and that with him I would have these lines of progression to improve myself.”
After a successful season in Nice, William Saliba is one of the least dribbled players in Europe, Saliba only has one word: Win. “My goals this year are to win, win, win, win, win, win as many games as possible, no matter what the competition and have a good season, (…) I’m ready to play anywhere.”
With the arrival of many center-backs, the 20-year-old center-back does not seem worried: “the competition pushes us to give the best of ourselves, it’s a good thing for all of us”.
On the Vélodrome stadium: “I came here at 17 with Saint-Etienne, it scared me! It was my first year in pro, I was a substitute, and frankly I really didn’t want to come back. Now it’s good, I’ve gained some experience and this time I’m wearing the jersey (note: OM) so it will necessarily be easier and cooler to play at the Orange Vélodrome. (…) I can’t wait to get this jersey wet and return the device to the supporters. ”
