As PSG prepares to challenge the great rival Marseille, Christophe Galtier appeared before the press this Friday. Asked about a new extra-sporting crisis in the Parisian club, the coach did not go there four ways. “You never talk about football, you ask me a lot of questions, you the media. I am the coach of PSG, I was happy when I was appointed. If we are very honest, we must talk about 1 minute 30 of football over ten minutes of conference, we are only on the extra-sporting. Whatever I tell you, you don’t believe me since you say the opposite of what I say. On everything that can be said, I am not here to comment on rumours”.
The former Nice coach then mentioned the Mbappe case. “On Kylian, there is a rumor that came out the afternoon of a match, Kylian had the best response and was man of the match, generous and very supportive. Instead of talking about the performance, you talk about this rumor. I have plenty of flaws but I’m honest: when I tell you things, it’s because it’s true. But in the press, we go to the opposite. If I spoke with Kylian regarding the rumor, no. Let’s talk football, let’s talk football”.
Before concluding. “When we prepared Lyon, you didn’t talk to me about preparation. There, the Clasico, you don’t talk to me about it. You do not manage the timing of these outings, but we could refocus the debate on football. We are undefeated in all competitions, Marseille made a very good start to the season too. I’m not lecturing you, I’m just telling you the feeling I have: everything I say, no one believes me. It’s going much better in our locker room than anywhere else and than anything you can say or imagine. Sorry, I won’t answer your question.”
