William Saliba Criticized by French Media After France’s Defeat to Croatia

The French media has unleashed a barrage of criticism against Arsenal's defender William Saliba following France's 2-0 loss to Croatia in an international friendly. Despite his stellar performances for Arsenal in the Premier League, Saliba's display for the national team was deemed subpar by several outlets. Reports from TBR Football and Arsenal Insider highlight the dissatisfaction, with some calling his performance 'disappointing' and 'below expectations.'

Saliba, who has been a key figure in Arsenal's backline, faced scrutiny for his part in France's defensive struggles against Croatia. The criticism was echoed across various platforms, with London World and Get Football News France also reporting on the backlash. The young defender's international outings have not yet mirrored his club form, leading to concerns about his consistency on the bigger stage.

This incident sheds light on the high expectations placed on young talents like Saliba and the pressure to perform at both club and international levels. As France looks to regroup and rebuild, the spotlight on Saliba's development will only intensify.
