After a week in which the differences between Neymar and Mbappé became news around PSG, Christophe Galtier addressed the media before the league match against Lille to explain that there are no problems between the Brazilian and the French . The French coach wants to have a calm atmosphere once the season starts, knowing the media stages that Pochettino has faced.
The penalty controversy: “There is no discomfort in the locker room. We got together quickly after the match against Montpellier and said things to each other’s faces. Honestly, I think we had a really good week of training to prepare for this weekend’s match. All this that the press was talking about stopped being a topic of conversation in the group the day after winning the second day at home”.
No manager specified: “There is no hierarchical order but it changes based on who is on the field. Kylian was the first pitcher in that game. Then Neymar. There was a brief discussion to see who would implement the second, but nothing more important happened. Ready that Neymar can score. Messi and Sergio Ramos can also take that responsibility.”
The relationship between the stars: “Messi, Neymar and Mbappé were an effective trident last season. Now they also continue to look for each other. It is a real trio, not a couple between Messi and Neymar. It is easy to include Kylian to the team.”
The market: “Footballers who are interested have been identified and work is being done along that line. We need a squad with a lot of quality to play every three days and we want energy because we want to defend the forward. We are also looking for technical quality because PSG is used to playing against teams that have retreated to the lower blocks”.
Verratti and Vitinha, two passionate footballers: “You have to control the yellow cards they see because of a stupid mistake they can lose a game. The intensity should be, but always under control. I won’t change Marco, but I think he understands me. I am trying to convey to everyone that we have to start and finish with eleven players”.
Lille, a dangerous rival: “He has changed coaches. Press carefully, it has quality. We have to be good on the ball. Lille did well in the Champions League last season and they have experience in this type of match. It is a test that must be considered in terms of intensity”.
