This is the controversy of the moment. Asked about the movements of PSG on Monday during the pre-match conference against Juventus, Christophe Galtier allowed himself a joke which went rather badly, so much so that he was strongly criticized by many politicians. Since yesterday evening, it is even the number 1 subject of certain television channels.
“I suspected that we were going to have this question there. This morning, we discussed with the company that organizes our travels, we see if we can not travel in a sand yacht », had thus launched the coach, alongside a Kylian Mbappé who also took it for his rank since he had burst out laughing on the spot. After the duel against Juventus, the Parisian tactician logically had to express himself on this controversy.
Galtier regrets that he can no longer be humorous
“I’m sorry, we can’t do humor. It was a joke at the wrong time. But believe me that I am concerned with the problems of the planet. I heard we were above ground. This is not the case. My players are very careful about the climate, the club is very attentive to that. In Lille, we went there by bus. We are aware of the issues. Of course I’m sorry, but I think that in France it’s difficult to be humorous. Even if my joke was not great and I knew it very quickly when I got home”explained the French coach in front of the cameras of Canal+.
That is clear. A half-mea culpa in short, which will probably not serve to calm the ardor of his new detractors, but which allowed the former ASSE to give his version of the facts. Anyway, Christophe Galtier can still go to bed with a smile following the victory of his team against the main opponent of Group H of the Champions League.
