As a frenchman I think he has personal problem with Saliba
He must be crazy
Did the same with Laporte when he was 1st in the team for Man City
People don't know what goes on behind the scenes. This kid has a past.
@@signoresantinoburnett1169tell us, what past
@@signoresantinoburnett1169 as old as he he has to use the kid past on him , if he dnt like him no need called him for national team
When Steve Nichol is passionately defending an Arsenal player you know something is seriously wrong
Steve is a G
So true!
So true😂
Jules defending DD for throwing a player under the bus is laughable when you’ve seen his reaction to Mourinho doing similar.
But for Steve to talk vile about a French national team manager criticising a French player is nonsense. Saliba will stay French but can change teams
This is the same guy that wanted Deschamps out after thr last Euros, dont try to take him seriously
I think I’m used to these guys being hypocritical at this point 🤦♂️
I agree. Seems so odd that he would criticize Saliba in public. It seems unprofessional and unfair. Deschamps should know better.
Please‼️ He’s a French critical of a French…Let’s not get 2 softy about ur Arsenal‼️🙄
It's not criticized, saliba just not deschamps type of players. Every manager have their own preferences. Just like southgate, he likes mediocre players because he's mediocre manager. Deschamps at least world cup winning manager.
@@blueshadow62 Calm down Mary with all your exclamation marks. I am not an Arsenal fan. Someone should criticize Deschamps for losing to Germany and while we are at it, losing to Argentina. That red faced jackass should not criticize anyone when he hasn't done that great since the World Cup.
All mental games 😅
@@blueshadow62I'm French, AND I'm a Arsenal fan... I can assure you, his public criticism of Saliba is debated even by French sport shows.. mainly cause he's almost never done that publicly to any player .. remember he's been coach for almost 12years now.. and never criticized a player... Even when Benzema went on 1 100 min of game time without scoring ..even when Pogba was struggling on and off the bench with Mourinho at United ..
He simply never done that..
Which is why it was so surprising ...
Saliba and Konate are elite, whether Deschamps can unlock their potential together or not is another question
Saliba and konate are good. Just not france s best CBs.
@@niccolomachiavelli8763lol and who is better?? Pavard? Upanecano? Really??
@@kojoosei7850 upamecano and lucas are both better. Konate and saliba are overrated bums who offer nothing special. Cant even buildup.
@@niccolomachiavelli8763lol Saliba cant build play. It's one of his best qualities.

I think he just don't like Saliba which is really sad to see.
hes black so. Deschamps is a known racist.
Frank was Average defender. 😊
@@onelove-1994How is that relevant?
Deschamps is Southgate 2.0
@@11robinho07 Deschamps has the slightest knowledge in management, though
Dechamps time has passed. He should give way for Zizzou. Saliba is top 5 defender in the World.
💯
Why do you think Zidane is interested in this job
Top 5. No he is the best defender currently in the world
@@Samplefive1966that hes dream he said it on french tv many time he was not training the years of the world cup because he was thinking deshamp would leave after the world cup
Why wouldn't he? Hes a patriot. Out of work. And won every major trophy in Club. Time for France@@Samplefive1966
Im an Arsenal fan and the France Manager is an experienced world cup winner so if he doesn't want Saliba to play ut fine, But to insult Saliba is absolutely unnecessary
If he does not like him he should bench him. He needs rest for the UCL. A game I actually care about

@@boogy1033they aren’t
Of corse they are hahah who is it ?@@tyronelorenzovalentio3414

Nobody is talking about this in France even though the media loves drama. I saw the interview and it really sounded like soft criticism that he gives all the time nothing special
Saliba is one of the best defenders on
The planet 🌎 even Stevie Wonder can see that !!!!!!!!
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
If I was Saliba,I will do a Ben White.
Frrr
DD will call out Saliba but not Upamecano who.... bruh, im french, Upa should have probably been sent off in the WC against England with foul on Saka and has made some catastrophic errors this season for Bayern. DD did the same S when he didnt want to start Umtiti and Varane together and insisted on Koscielny (with his perpensity to fall to the ground in important monents) being in there
Nobody calls out their best defender
Konate and Saliba compliment each other so well
How do they compliment each other?
“You’re the best”…
“No, _you’re_the best!”
(You meant complement)
@@OGCHuilaSaliba is calm under pressure and has good pass selection and a great reader of the game off the ball and has one of the best recovery pace in Europe so he can be the last man whilst Konate can be aggressive and on the front foot. The great defensive partnerships of the past have mostly had agressive type CBs paired with calm and more ball playing CBs. Vidic Ferdinand, Sol Campbell & Toure, Stam & Johnsen, Nesta Canavaro, Puyol Pique, etc
facts, even Gabriel and Saliba they compliment each other so well because they meet your criteria@@awonkemsutu3866
@@awonkemsutu3866 yep, konate can literally be gabriel.
Public criticism of ANY international player for me is unacceptable. How does Deschamps think he will get Saliba on his side with daft comments like he has made. Saliba is a truly class player and should be the future of French football, end of story.
Finally, there is someone criticising this Didder Deschamps guy. But our Saliba proved himself today, so happy for him.
Deschamps doesn’t deserve Saliba just like Southgate doesn’t deserve white
Who?
Don’t compare WC champion to Gareth Scrubgate
Deschamps is one of the most successful players ever, and won WC as a manager. What has Gareth done?
@@agamemnon730wear ridiculous clothes
And these idiots in the comments think that equates to me comparing managers somehow . SMH
to slate Saliba then play Upamecano is absolute comedy
Upamecano is way better in france than saliba
you are crazy
@@boogy1033
upamecano has performed much better for france than saliba. i agree that deschamps shouldn't have criticised saliba in public, but saliba is 3rd/4th choice for france
that's why y'all won't win the euros @@shaeel
@@kristiantello who will? england? lmao
Really personal attack. If you don’t like the player that’s fine .. directed attack without doing anything bad per se is a bit much
Wow. 8 minute video, over 100 comments and barely a mention of Chile 🇨🇱. The young Osorio, new coach Gareca and Chile’s return to attacking football all ignored.
Lol
Brooo!😮
😂😂😂😂
Caption clearly tells you it's about Saliba
The topic is about Saliba.... not the match
Right or wrong (imo, wrong ...but whatever), I just feel bad for Saliba. He clearly works hard and is greatly appreciated by his team and Arsenal fans but he hasn't had the smoothest road in his Int. career. How is hearing this prior to making a rare start for his country supposed to make him perform to his usual standard? Surely hearing something like this from your coach and a legend in France would make you self conscious and unnecessarily nervous. He deserves respect and support or, at the very least, private disapproval - not a public declaration of his perceived faults.
Champions league final …..Arsenal vs PSG…..Saliba pockets Mbappe……asr 2-0 psg …in ur face Deschamp …🎉🎉🎉
Hey if they don’t want Arsenal players to go to international duty don’t call them up, no need to blast them for nothing, better for the club if they don’t go, means they don’t risk an injury
he did something similar with benzema too
Saliba is a strong lad.... He is not losing sleep over Deschamps comments or confidence.
As a chili fan I was quite surprised to see how competitive they were against France. Gareca has gotten this team from completely lost to competitive in a short amount of time and with some quality players still to come back.
Almost the same thing happened with Laporte & Le Normand they didn’t even get selected😅. Saliba is world class he deserve to be ahead of Upamecano 100%
Laporte was selected and was injured every time.
@@OlivierGaffuri-wc2dl Laporte didn’t even get called up 5 times that’s why I never mentioned it. He played at under 21 level for France though
I think time for Deschamps to resign from his position, he’s very rude and killed Saliba confidence.
he is working for the oil people of man city lol
What is De Schamps talking about? If there's one defender you don't criticize, it's William Saliba.
Saliba doesn't deserve this. He's such a humble guy and gives his all.
Choosing upamecano over saliba is just criminal tbh
Deschamps ego is crazy. Bunch of players with issues involving him
The man has results. 2 World Cup finals in a row.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Upamecano have a good game but he seems to be the 1st defender on the team sheet
Konate and Saliba are much better.
Both Nagelsman and Tuchel favored him because he´s fast ,helps out on the right and actually had so many good reliable games lol ...Man made 2 crucial mistakes in 2 years and people call him bad . A third coach in Deschamps sees something that some of you don´t .Weird?
The french Maguier
@@whatudoin1, they're fifa kids dude. They play fifa and then spew nonsense thinking they know sh*t
In the world cup final he was really great but in some game when he make mistake they really big
Deschamp will be disappointed with himself after watching saliba masterclass against city
as a madrista watching mbappe was weird not helping defensively not getting the ball nor creating chances 1st half he was at the left side 2nd half his at the middle he was lost never watched arsenal games didn't knew who w.saliba was but tonight that guy was really good at defense
Not weird. It's a meaningless friendly. Why risk fatigue + increase chance of getting injured by playing like his normal offensive self when PSG is on the lighter side of the bracket.
Not lost, teams double up on him and if france dont hold the ball. Mbappe goes missing
@@mr.mystery8149When you pull on the international shirt you give your all because there’s millions that would give their right hand to play.
Also, the paying fans, there’s kids that will be there seeing Mbappe for the first time, you do it for your people.
@@mr.mystery8149 yeah but Germany game too he wasn't that great he never helps the team and in madrid even vini helps so how will he get use to madrid if he plays like this
Mbappe has learnt from Neymar and Messi to be lazy in defence
He definitely rates Upamecano over Saliba and it speaks alot of him as a manager.
Nagelsman, and Tuchel choose him too. Varane, Ramos, Puyol, and Cannavaro made mistake that cost their team but their coach still believed and choosed them so keep your delusional thought in the house.
Because upa is just better.
Won the World Cup and got to back to back finals. He’s obviously an elite manager.
DD not really elite, he's just lucky to manage a team with some of the best players in the world... As a French national team fan, I never saw DD do anything tactical or special. His players usually uses individual brilliance and win tournaments for him 😂 At least he's CV is better than Southgate, who intentionally try to lose with a good team😅
@@bimapriambada1098 Delusional to rate Upamecano with those players to begin with 😂
Thing with Deschamps is he doesn't like to be proved wrong so his ego is so inflated that even if a good player like Saliba is pushing for a start he would rather bench him all because he doesn't want to be proved weak in the media. Ego before football is usually the start of the end of a manager's tenure.
That fact he can see things wrong with Saliba, but not with the error prone Upemecano is a joke.
Saliba was MOTM vs both Liverpool and City in their stadiums. Saliba has pocketed both Mbappe and Håland. We know what Upamecano did vs City last season. He got 2 red cards in a row this season. Saliba and Konate complement each other because Saliba is composed like VVD and Konate is a bit aggressive like Gabriel. Deschamps is probably getting arrogant or doesn’t rate Saliba and that’s fine but to criticise your players who have not done any mistakes is very rude and unprofessional for a manager at this level.
Euros will be very exciting with all of this uncertainty
I wouldn't judge anything on a friendly game
Keep an eye on Germany. What happened in AFCON and AFC where the hosts from nowhere won the competitions.
@@tomodul2619 i said the same thing I've got a feeling Germany will go far
No wonder why Benzema called Dechamps a coward😂
Bring Zidane in now so he has time with the squad before the euros.
Deschamps took France to a Wc victory and France why should they replace him
there's absolutely no time for zidane to prepare the euro is right around the corner it's too late. Should have been done after the WC final loss. If France sucks at the euro there's a high chance that the change occurs then.
I watch espn fc nearly everyday. Could you please consider covering conmebol teams a bit more often? Thanks
Don’t they have ESPN Sudamericano as well as ESPN Deportes ? I mean it’s counter intuitive to expect them to cover non-English speaking teams that aren’t in Europe
Deschamps is tough and usually focuses more on the team spirit and atmosphere than on individual performance. It was wrong to make it public, but maybe our Brits friends should learn from him if they want to win a tournament at some point... 3 finals in the last 4 major tournaments is something!
Deschamps can't coach, he's lucky to have such luxury players and still can't produce quality football!!! 😂😂😂😂
Saliba did well today
Your integrity is just defending your pals? Disgraceful. Call it for what it is.
Well done lads for sticking up for a great young centre back.
Not surprised.But for Deschamps,Theo Hernandez could have been a world cup winner.Only Deschamps understands Deschamps.
Didier is a world cup winner .. as a player and manager but to play upemacano above saliba is absolutely crazy ...
All these failed manager and so called football pundit critized world cup winning manager lmao. For the good of saliba? Descamp works for the good of france national team not for epl players.
I guess you liked your own comment 😂😂😂
Bro most French managers have been world cup winning managers ,you don't need too much to get France to the final as a coach all u need is getting out of the tunnel and sit france has always porched stars from Africa and are always good
@@barugambireismailismail1688 yeah because they got capability and credential as a champion and the federation trust them. Look at those pundits? What had they achieve? Lmao just because players that play in their leagues not get choosen and deshamps got different criteria on viewing players and managed them, they called deshamps atrocious. They don't know behind the scene between saliba n deshamps. Look how arteta treated saliba. First year he got sent to France. Doesn't speak much to him. And saliba come back stronger and try to proof his worth. Every player need different treatment and mentality. And those so called pundit are trash
@@yohanespaskal9352 lol Frank leubouf is a WC winner what are u on
@@barugambireismailismail1688 as players. What team he managed?
Saliba knows that he is the future.
DD knows that he is the past.
Therein lies the answer...
I don’t understand if you don’t like a player why do you call him to the national team then? 🤷🏽♀️
Same with benzema case.
Deschamps has had incredible success with France but he is nowhere near Arteta tactically, the things he says he doesn't like anout Saliba are due to him being limited as a tactician
He has had an idiot proof squad
Didier descamps took monaco to CL final what did Arteta do ?
Deschamps should send Saliba out on loan, he'll come back a beast! 😅
Didier Deschamps Is A Great Manager ,
But He Does Alot Of Favoritism Which Is Very Unprofessional Sad But Truth!
What did dd say?
Frank has deschamps’ phone number. Call him!
These guys have never even considered that maybe, just maybe, Deschamps doesn't rate the Premier League like they do.
Deschamps and Southgate belong together
Stevie is 100% correct
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
First time in a long time me and Stevie agree on anything
Euros seems wide open.
Yep, hoping for a dark horse like Croatia or Belgium. The main squads seem meh.
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).
Is not Deschamps fault he has so many players to choose from.Among these current defenders Saliba is the best or second best in all stats.Funny how I wish he was English.Manu is going to start at Eurose for England..............❤❤❤❤
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!
Steve is right hope the Arsenal club call someone even Saliba n tell him are you strong enough to endure this even not “we” would advise you u to take a break from the national team cuz tf man I’m not saying French gotta pick Saliba don’t even give him a second but u got no right to talk about him like that
Credit where credit's due. Steve Nicol spitting fax!
I watched the Chile game, Saliba didn’t do anything to warrant that kind of reaction from Deschamps. So if that’s still his opinion it’s wild
Both goals conceded were the midfields fault, Saliba looked good but Frances midfield that night could be got at.
Saliba and Konate are unbelievable talents, it’s France’s midfield that needs an assessment
Is this how they motivate players ahead of big games?
Huge overreaction of this story and ESPN loves that. 1. Deschamps did not come out and say this on his own, questions were asked 2. Saliba has not been good with France. Fantastic with AFC, but still searching for a big game for France. This is purely and simply a manager trying to motivate a player. Deschamps actually took some of the blame for Saliba’s not having a huge game in the national team by saying “it’s partially my fault because he is playing mostly when the whole team changes”. They don’t want to talk about that. It’s very clearly his way of saying “we expect more from him”, absolutely not negative at all!
I really think so dude,Deschamps may be an egomaniac but he is a really smart coach.zi think he is trying to up Saliba's game.
Lmao as if lego head was gonna call Didier Deschamps and tell him how to do his job
When you too jealous of someone else, you will always find some teeny tiny problem from that person and criticise it.
Nicol was a world class CB in the 80's and knows a thing or to about defenders.
Let him go then
i mean saliba has been world class for arsenal, stevie’s right criticizing one of your players publicly is just wrong.
Saliba has been terrific for 3 years in a row. Before his two years at arsenal, he was the best defender in france and was in team of the season, also won young player of the season even though he wasn't playing for the traditional biggies in france.
Why France didn't fire Deschamps after the last WCup is very surprising!!!He will lose again at home...Deschamps is a rubbish Coach that just have great players
Today am with Steve
Midfield look slow from he highlight
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.
CB starters should be Konate and Saliba. Upemecano to error prone
Konate and saliba are not better than upa or lucas.
@@niccolomachiavelli8763 Upemacano has been so poor for Bayern. Got owned by Haaland when was at Dortmund whilst Saliba has pocketed Haaland again and again
@@niccolomachiavelli8763 I'm afraid you're wrong.
@@delby66 sure buddy knows more than the manager who reached 2 ucl finals
Had it got something to do with the video of saliba and he's team mate ????
Let's see all gooners gather here for Saliba 🔴⚪
I do not see Deschamps making it to the WC. Despite winning the championship, he is overly conservative in his tactics and publicly criticising one of the best CB’s in the world only points to his weaknesses, not Saliba’s.
It full time zindane take over the team... deschamps coaching cost France the last world cup
It's time for him to go coz Zidane is waiting for the coaching position.
Deschamps takin a leaf from Southgates assistants playbook: row with the main guys that can shore up your defens.,
Think he actually made those comments before the game, which in some ways is worse
Saliba should just pull a Ben White on Dechamp
He's probably a Chelsea, Man u, or Liverpool fan 😂
Saliba should jus do like Ben white or change allegiance to Cameroon where he's going to be appreciated
Saliba and Konate should be starting. I dont know how upamecano is ahead of them.
Deschamps is too arrogant. Time to move on
Don't know why he pinpoint Saliba (probably our best CB). Defensively we are weaker than previous versions of the team overall.
So this guy wants to speak for Deschamps?.... Mxieew
