In the dull match against Canada (0-0), the defender played steadily and consistently, saving his team many times. At the offensive level, Ousmane Dembélé is too alone to weigh on the Canadian defense. In this match, Saliba plays in the left centre-back
William Saliba just had an excellent performance when he was chosen to start in France’s 0-0 draw against Canada:
90 mins
89 touches
Passing accuracy 95%
4/7 accurate long passes
Create an opportunity
Dribbling the ball successfully 100% (1/1)
Successful tackles 100% (2/2)
1 ball cut
6 times breaking the ball
1 interception
3 ball recoveries
8 dispute wins
0 times being passed over
Best player of the match, hopefully Saliba will have many opportunities to show off his talent at Euro 2024!
The Arsenal man was the real Italy playmaker, playing just one step behind Fagioli. Like his compatriot, he made a lot of short and simple passes, but not many mistakes at the same time.
