The wait for a first championship title since 2004 has become a real obsession for Saliba, who admits to dreaming of lifting a big trophy at N5. After several seasons finishing in second place in England, the defender approaches this campaign as a pivotal moment, both personal and collective.
Speaking about the psychological pressure and the importance of ending the club’s 22-year drought, he added: “We have a good amount of pressure with us, because when you play football, you want to play these kinds of matches. We are ready for this.
When you are about to make your dreams come true, even at night you think about it. We have the Champions League, the Premier League, so obviously we can’t concentrate on anything else.
We haven’t won the Premier League since 2004, which is getting old. So it’s crucial for the club and for me personally. I’ve been here four years and I’ve always finished second. If we can turn the tide this season, it will be a huge success. I am convinced that we can do it. »
