William Saliba, Arsenal's defender, spoke openly about the club's situation in the race for the English Premier League title this season.
William Saliba, a defender for the "Gunners" Arsenal, urged his teammates to give their all to claim the Premier League title this season, saying he has been with the club for 4 years and has always finished as runner-up.
Defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester City have dropped Arsenal to second place in the Premier League table, trailing Pep Guardiola's Manchester City only on goal difference, with just 5 matches remaining.
Saliba said, "I think we need to stay calm, but we also have to fight with all our might on the pitch because it has to be now. We must keep pushing forward. We need everyone — fans, players, staff, and coaches — because we have to do it now, or it will be too late afterward."
"When the season ends, it will be too late. You have to start the next season then, so it has to be now. You must give everything and be ready to die on the pitch."
"In the last game, we wanted to win but couldn’t. But it’s not over yet. Now we know what we face and what we have to do. If we want to win the league, we must start on Saturday."
"I have been here for four years and have always finished second. If we can change that this season, it will be a great success for us and for me. I am confident we can do it."
Arsenal is scheduled to host Newcastle United at home this Saturday night at 23:30.
