Last summer, the 19-year-old defender William Saliba, who arrived at London's Arsenal, did not get his chance to debut with the "Gunners" jersey, but recently returned to France on loan basis, where he will defend the honor of the "Nice" team until the summer. On Friday, speaking to journalists in France, W. Saliba said that he deserved a chance to prove himself in the ranks of Arsenal. "The coach told me as soon as I arrived that I was not ready. I wanted to at least get a chance to get back into the playing rhythm. My first few months in the Arsenal ranks were difficult because half a year before that I simply couldn't train due to the situation in the world. I arrived in England at a time when the season was just ending, so I had to train individually. As soon as the team returned from vacation, we played friendly matches, but I didn't have much playing practice for a long time," - said W. Saliba.
