Here is Nasser al-Khelaïfi again. This Sunday, in a molten Velodrome stadium, Paris Saint-Germain extinguished Olympique de Marseille (3-0), thanks in particular to its luxury doublet, Kylian Mbappé – Lionel Messi. The French genius (doubled, assist) and the sevenfold Ballon d’Or (doubled… of assists, a goal) did great damage to the defense of Igor Tudor. An oh-so-important success for the Parisian leader, who now has an 8-point lead over his Olympian runner-up.
« We saw the true face of PSG »
But above all, this victory suggests great things for the end of the Ile-de-France season, when everything was on the verge of turning into a nightmare a week earlier, at the end of a stunning and in extremis success against LOSC Lille (4-3 ), at the Parc des Princes. Especially since after the defeat against Bayern Munich (0-1), in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, everyone was hitting on this PSG and already burying it, or almost, for the rest of the events, everything like Christophe Galtier.
But the PSG coach offered himself a nice reprieve, if not more, by going to win in Marseille. In the meantime, its president has decided to break the silence to make things clear about the Parisian situation at the moment. ” I am very happy with this match, we had a great match, it’s the great PSGfirst launched the Qatari leader at our microphone, in the mixed zone, before continuing. I have always had confidence in my players and my coach. We won in my own way tonight, we played against a great Marseille. We saw the true face of PSG, there are many positive things. We were very aggressive. »
Galtier confirmed, the president of PSG confident and optimistic
And Nasser to recall the delicate conditions in which Christophe Galtier had to advance in recent weeks, after an almost perfect first part of the season. ” Does Galtier play his future in the Champions League? No, I always trusted my coach. It was complicated after the World Cup, especially for us, we had a lot of players (who were there, editor’s note), we had a lot of injuries. »
« Regarding the Sword of Damocles, I have a direct relationship with my sports management: Luis Campos, but also my president, who was omnipresent in the support, because it was a difficult period. Lille’s victory was important, to snatch it at the end of the match, it denotes a state of mind, a desire on the part of the players to go after a victory, which was well compromised.had told him Galtier at the microphone of Prime Video a few minutes before. This evening, the face of the team gives balm to the heart and it will be necessary to renew this kind of performance. When we are able to do it here at the Velodrome, we can be able to do it everywhere. »
The boss of the reigning French champions then showed his confidence in the short-term future of his club. ” If I am confident before Bayern? Yes always. I want to give a lot of confidence to the players, to everyone, and for you the media, so you talk a little more about us (smile). This has the merit of being clear and which should allow the players of Paris SG to prepare for the match of their season, against Bayern, in Munich (next March 8), in the best possible way.
