Paris Saint-Germain is going through a bad time. The club from the capital has indeed chained three major defeats. First, PSG was eliminated from the Coupe de France by rival OM (2-1). Then Paris collapsed against AS Monaco in Ligue 1 (3-1). Last Tuesday, in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League, the Parisians lost to Bayern Munich (1-0) at the Parc des Princes.
In this context, it was a nervous Christophe Galtier who emerged at a press conference on Friday, January 17, three days after Paris lost to Bayern. PSG take Lille, 5to Sunday to mark the 24th anniversary of Ligue 1to On the day of the French championship, a journalist asked the Parisian coach about his intentions to play against LOSC: “You matched Bayern with a block against a multiplayer team. There you will encounter Lille, a team that also plays well with the ball. Will you use the same tactical approach, or rather…“Without letting the sentence finish, Christophe Galtier interrupts and replies, annoyed:”Are you kidding me by asking me this question? Do you think I was satisfied with what I saw against Bayern? No, I am not satisfied. My players aren’t there that much.“
Later, Christophe Galtier justified his team composition against Bayern Munich: “There was this game plan in relation to the current roster. Was it something I was working on to start Warren (Zaire-Emery) in such an important Champions League game at the young age of 17 after spending almost two consecutive matches? Circumstances meant I saw no other way but to take control of Bayern Munich and then try to enter a second stage with Kylian (Mbappé) entering.“
Christophe Galtier ended his answer in a harsh tone by expressing his displeasure: “I’m sorry if you think I enjoyed watching my team play against Bayern, which is true for everyone, but it’s because you disrespected me a little. (…) Paris Saint-Germain must play aggressive, attractive, extraordinary but effective football to win. Afterwards, in this context, if the actors are able to give the audience and television viewers entertainment and pleasure, of course, we will not deprive ourselves of this.“
