Ligue 1 – PSG – Christophe Galtier: “A locker room needs justice and justice is valid for all”

This is undeniably one of the most exciting questions for the coming season: will Christophe Galtier succeed at PSG? Appointed coach of the Ile-de-France club on July 4, the former coach of Saint-Etienne, Lille and Nice knows he is expected at the turn when taking a huge step in his career. Because his appointment raises many questions. Asked by The Teamthe 55-year-old technician first returned to the underside of this commitment.

“I want to be short on this subject. Zizou is Zizou. He has an incredible track record. Zizou is unique. But what has been most important are my constant exchanges with my president and Luis (Campos), explained the native of Marseille. If these rumors made me doubt? No way. Because I knew… (He stops.) It was clear from my president that I was going to be the coach of PSG”.

And in terms of clear speeches, Galtier knows about it, he who was quick to assert his ideas, especially in terms of management. “When I said there can’t be compromise, it’s with the idea that everyone has to think about the team, work well for the team. Afterwards, we don’t go into force . Never”, he first tempered.

But his very firm vision of the management of a group quickly reappeared. “There will be rules of life that will be put in place, which I will present to the group. There will be negotiable things, others non-negotiablehe warned. I will discuss with the players because it is necessary to take into account the extra-sporting obligations of each one, but very precise rules will have to be respected. They will have to commit. And, whoever the player is, if he has no valid reason for not respecting them, he will put himself aside”.

The name of Neymar instinctively comes to mind when discussing the subject of discipline. But Galtier also gave first clues about the management of Kylian Mbappé, whether in terms of accountability or playing time, indicating that he should manage this last point. “A locker room needs justice and justice is valid for all”, he blurted out to sum up. The message couldn’t be clearer.
