Christophe Galtier: “I was shocked”

Date:

This is not just another press conference. Proof of this Christophe Galtier accompanied Julien Maynard, one of PSG’s communications managers: “The club believes that the threats received by our coach are unacceptable and will take any legal action it deems is appropriate. The fight against racism and discrimination is important for PSG,” said Maynard from the Camp des Loges.

Later, Christophe Galtier read a statement: “I was shocked by what was irresponsibly published. They hurt me and I am saddened by all this. I grew up in Marseille, with different races, origins and religions . Always have respect for others. I can’t accept being attacked like that. I have faith in the judicial system in France after my reputation was tarnished,” said the PSG coach.

When this issue was clarified, Christophe Galtier added that he would not make any further statement on the matter in order not to monopolize a press conference before this Saturday’s match against Lens where the champion almost ruined the league: “I have taken refuge with my people in this difficult week. The work sessions helped me to forget all this at times”, he contributed in his speech, before questions from journalists.

Noise conditioning preparation: “I prepared the match in the conditions with the rest of my team. It was a good match and I saw my players focused. We can take an important step to win the league. Not sure, but must be considered- regards

The dressing room, ignoring the situation: “I haven’t talked to the staff on this topic yet. The best way to focus in each training session is to put everything else aside.

Support from other colleagues: “I received many messages from close people, from coaches, players and managers. These are difficult moments and I appreciate those examples and gestures. I also received support from strangers.

Train PSG: “I understand that the position generates a lot of pressure, comments and analysis from the outside, especially what is foreign to the game. I have to live with that fact.”

The atmosphere at the Parc des Princes: “I read the statement made by the Collectif Ultras Paris. What matters is the game tomorrow. I have no doubt that they will join the team”.

Lens, six points behind: “This is a team in great shape, they have worked well this season and Franck Haise has left his mark. Lens can be the star, recover the ball quickly and continue the counterattack as it happened in the game of the first round”.
