A deserved success, the third in a row, a record for Kylian Mbappé: despite the injuries of Nordi Mukiele and Marquinhos, PSG had a good evening against Nantes, which they dominated (4-2) without incident despite two errors by Gianluigi Donnarumma. At a press conference in the amphitheater of the Parc des Princes, coach Christophe Galtier delivered his analysis this Saturday evening.
What did you retain: the positive or the black hole of the first period?
CHRISTOPHER GALTIER. I am satisfied with the last three league games. We scored 11 goals but we conceded too many goals, five. Tonight, after a very good start, good pressing, quality of play, we are slacking off, is that it? Did we think it was going to be easy? We conceded a bold goal but it was also a mistake and it gave Nantes hope. We find ourselves in a scenario like facing Lille; we talked at the break. We got back to the rhythm of the start of the match and afterwards, we had to hang on. We have players who have gone out with sores. I had planned certain things but it was necessary to grit the teeth until the end. It was difficult. We are going to retain the victory but we have given too many hopes to an opponent that we felt KO We will not have the right to have this kind of behavior on Wednesday evening.
Do you have any news from Nordi Mukiele and Marquinhos? Are they uncertain for the Champions League?
I do not think so. Nordi, it is on the contentious action of the penalty. It doesn’t seem very serious. For the captain, it’s a blow to the ribs, it doesn’t seem very serious. we will cross our fingers.
Is Marquinhos more liberated by playing higher?
He has qualities to play in midfield. This organization with three central defenders. He is the most fit to participate in the game even though Danilo is a training midfielder. We will have the return of Marco Verratti from suspension. Marquinhos will play centre-back in Munich.
A word on Kylian Mbappé’s record?
It is a privilege to experience it live. It is a privilege to train him. He is the best striker in the world. Our supporters and French football must fully appreciate having such a player in our league. I saw quickly in the matches that he was obsessed with scoring and breaking the record. He has great maturity and event management. He wants to break records and make the team win, to go as high as possible.
