Episode Details

William Gallas breaks down William Saliba’s World Cup performance, noting he played well but not at his usual Arsenal level—largely because he was shifted to left-back, a position less natural for his right-footed game. Gallas, recalling his own World Cup positional struggles, explains how the switch demands extra focus and can impact confidence. With Dayot Upamecano also competing for the right-back spot, Saliba’s unfamiliar role likely held him back. Gallas believes Saliba’s talent is undeniable, but the positioning was key. The chat then turns to Chelsea, where Gallas backs Xabi Alonso as the ideal manager to rebuild the squad, integrate new signings, and restore the team’s former glory—even if it’ll take time.
