Speaking to French outlet France Info Sport, Konate admitted that Saliba provides tough competition in the National Team, and that he did not want him to win the league with Arsenal this season.
“A few months ago, I would not have said that I am a manager. There, I’m going to get it to become one. There’s extreme competition in this job, but I’m happy because it’s healthy. Apart from perhaps William Saliba, I do not want him to win the title,” he joked of his France teammate.
“When I see them, I think I have to be better and it allows me to put the bar high and always work. I was lucky enough to start most of the time when I was there, but it’s not an end in itself.”
