**BREAKING NEWS: “William Saliba Admits Manchester United Star Left Him Restless: ‘No Defender Would Like to Face Such a Tricky Player’”**
In a shocking revelation, Arsenal’s star center-back, William Saliba, has admitted that facing Manchester United’s young winger, Antony, left him feeling uneasy during their recent encounter. The Frenchman, who has garnered praise for his commanding performances at the heart of the Arsenal defense, acknowledged the exceptional skill and unpredictability of the Brazilian forward.
Speaking in a post-match interview, Saliba said, “It was one of the toughest challenges I’ve faced this season. Antony is not just quick, but he’s very tricky. No defender would like to face such a player – he can change direction in an instant, and you never know what he’s going to do next.”
The encounter between Arsenal and Manchester United was a highly anticipated one, with both teams fighting for a top-four finish in the Premier League. Despite Arsenal’s 3-1 victory, Saliba, who was tasked with marking Antony for most of the game, struggled to contain the winger’s dazzling dribbles and sudden bursts of pace.
“I’ve faced many top attackers in my career, but Antony is special,” Saliba continued. “He’s unpredictable and his balance makes him so hard to defend against. I had to stay focused the entire time. It was exhausting, to be honest.”
Antony, who has been one of Manchester United’s standout performers this season, caused problems for Saliba throughout the match, cutting inside onto his left foot and creating several dangerous opportunities. Although Saliba and his defensive partner Gabriel were able to keep United at bay, the Arsenal center-back admitted that the Brazilian’s flair was something he hadn’t encountered often.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta also weighed in on the challenge that Antony presented, praising Saliba for his resilience. “It’s not easy when you face someone like Antony, who has the ability to change the game with a single move. William did very well to stay disciplined and manage him.”
Despite the difficulty of the task, Saliba remains confident in his abilities, and Arsenal’s defense continues to impress this season. However, his comments on Antony have sparked discussions across the football world, with many now seeing the Brazilian winger as one of the most difficult opponents to defend against in the Premier League.
As the season progresses, it’s clear that William Saliba and many other defenders will have to brace themselves for more tricky encounters against some of the league’s most gifted attackers. But for now, Saliba’s respect for Antony is undeniable.
