Arsenal defender, William Saliba has come out to claim that it was clear the Gunners would have won the Premier League if he hadn’t picked up an injury. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he definitely had a good season last year, but it was sad how he got injured at the final sprint while Arsenal were closing in on the EPL title.
Saliba added that if he was fully fit during the closing stages of the season, the final outcome might have been different.
His words, “Last year, I had a good season. Unfortunately, I got injured during the year and at the final sprint.”
“It’s a new season with new ambitions and I hope that we can do even better. Yeah, it’s clear with me (fully fit), Arsenal could have been champions, but injuries are a part of football.”
WOW.
Arsenal Football Club is an English professional football club based in Holloway, North London. Arsenal compete in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.
The club has won 13 league titles (including one unbeaten title), a record 14 FA Cups, two League Cups, 17 FA Community Shields, the Football League Centenary Trophy, one European Cup Winners’ Cup and one Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. In terms of trophies won, it is the third-most successful club in English football.
After conducting an overhaul in the club’s operating model to coincide with Wenger’s departure, Spaniard Unai Emery was named as the club’s new head coach on 23 May 2018. He became the club’s first ever ‘head coach’ and second manager from outside the United Kingdom.
In Emery’s first season, Arsenal finished fifth in the Premier League and as runner-up in the Europa League. On 29 November 2019, Emery was dismissed as manager and former player and assistant first team coach Freddie Ljungberg was appointed as interim head coach. On 20 December 2019, Arsenal appointed former club captain Mikel Arteta as the new head coach. Arsenal finished the league season in eighth, their lowest finish since 1994–95, but beat Chelsea 2–1 to earn a record-extending 14th FA Cup win. After the season, Arteta’s title was changed from head coach to manager.
