People who watched him was at pains to explain how age does not matter for someone as special as him and his quality is everything. I rewatched the match and like you said, there was so many 3v2, 2v1 situation that Saliba singlehandedly snuffed out before it became even dangerous (ignore those instances they missed simple passes to put them through 1v1). Without Saliba it would have been a lot more dangerous and unthinkable. 48th minute, there was a break Richarlison just needed to square it and Saliba caught up with him like nobody business despite him having a big head start, and hes no slouch.
Ricky mentioned he was like VVD where his positioning sense and pace can cover a high line himself and that was the case today again.
How do we tie him down now? That's the serious question. 300k per week?
