At last, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes have opened up about the details of their productive collaboration at Arsenal. Arsenal’s back line is led by Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba. The Arsenal defense has performed better than expected this season. This team has allowed fewer goals than any other in the Premier League. The north London club’s net has only been breached 24 times in 28 games.There is no doubting that Mikel Arteta’s starting center-back tandem is the primary factor behind the Gunners’ success, even though players like Declan Rice, Ben White, and David Raya must also share some of the credit.

Saliba and Gabriel could plausibly be the best defensive tandem in the Premier League at the moment. There’s no denying that the two enhance each other’s advantages. Although Saliba has a calm, collected manner, his Brazilian partner is a hot-headed individual who enjoys sparring with his opponents.Why does Gabriel and William Saliba’s collaboration at Arsenal function so well?They are both excellent with the ball, strong in the air, and vigilant about potential threats. The more seasoned partner, 26-year-old Gabriel, is acknowledged for having made improvements to Saliba. It is easy to forget that the Frenchman is only twenty-three years old.

However, Gabriel is still a young center-back, so both players likely still have their best years ahead of them. Fans of Arsenal and Arteta will surely hope that their partnership endures for many more seasons at the Emirates Stadium.The two have now divulged some of their trade secrets for their fruitful collaboration. In an interview with Stadium Astro, Saliba stated, “It’s easier to play because I love him and he loves me.”

“I think because we speak the same language,” Gabriel explained. I can communicate in French. Despite the fact that I am Brazilian, my native tongue is French. Communication is essential throughout the pitch. Yes, we have a close friendship. When I need to holler “hey, Saliba!” on the field, I do, and he does as well. I believe this is good to us. He and I both understand each other.They continue to have a strong rivalry, especially when it comes to exerting influence on the other squad. Both athletes have showed their ability to assault. This season, Arsenal has been extremely good at set pieces, which has benefited Gabriel in particular.Since joining Arsenal in the summer of 2020, the 6-cap Brazilian international has scored 14 Premier League goals. Since his arrived, no other defender in the top flight has been as productive. Since joining Arsenal at the end of the previous season, Saliba has scored four Premier League goals.

“I want to figҺt with him, for the goals,” he said.

Then Gabriel chuckled, saying, “You are so far [behind].”
