The Parisians will travel by bus to Reims on Saturday for the tenth day of Ligue 1. Not by sand yacht, therefore, nor by plane, which had caused the famous affair which caused a stir about the club’s travels Parisian.
A month later, the sand yachting controversy resurfaced… but on the bright side, Christophe Galtier tried to play down the drama by announcing that PSG will be going to Reims by bus on Saturday evening: “As the matches are very close together, we will getting around by bus. We will be very comfortable in it, even if our players are tired and the matches go on.” All with a big smile obviously not insignificant, even if this last precision probably annoys the Paris Saint-Germain coach since his players returned from Lisbon at six o’clock on Thursday morning, after the 1-1 in the Champions League at Benfica. “We talk a lot with the players and the staff, we try to set up as many recovery time slots as possible, while stimulating the organizations.”
To tell the truth, given the context that we have known since the famous jet trip to Nantes, it was difficult to imagine anything other than a coach trip for this shortest trip of the season, only 144 kilometers separating Paris from Reims (the second, Troyes, is 179 kilometers away). More sportingly, Christophe Galtier also recalled that if the motivation was “obviously very high in the Champions League”, the stakes are just as important for him in the championship, if only to maintain a form of dynamic for his team which is still undefeated. The coach of the capital club finally took the opportunity to send a message of support to his colleague Oscar Garcia, who will be absent on Saturday for family reasons.
