The number is that after this match, William Saliba was randomly selected by UEFA to be tested for doping. Perhaps because he was too stressed while competing, he was unable to provide a urine sample to the organizers. Therefore, this player was forced to stay at Westfalenstadion until he could provide a sample for the organizers to check.

In addition to the “pressure” of his teammates’ waiting, it became even more difficult for Arsenal player William Saliba to provide samples. It was not until after 10:30 p.m. that he completed his “mission”.

But before that, because we couldn’t let the whole team wait for William Saliba, the bus waiting for the French team left the stadium at 9:00 p.m. to return to headquarters.

Luckily, William Saliba is not “lonely” at Westfalenstadion because there are still a few members of the coaching staff arranged to stay and wait for him. Around 11pm, Saliba and the coaching staff members left the Westfalenstadion and traveled more than an hour to return to headquarters.

The 1-1 draw against Poland last night left the “Gauls” in second place in Group D and in a “tough” draw with the presence of European football giants such as Belgium, Spain, Portugal and host Germany.

According to the Euro 2024 match schedule , France plays against Belgium in the round of 16 on July 1. In terms of force, France is still considered the top team. Other strong candidates in this bracket also cannot underestimate the strength of the team led by coach Didier Deschamps.
