“I’m not here to comment on rumours,” laments Christophe Galtier to the media

Born in Marseille, trained at OM, Christophe Galtier will experience his first classic in the shoes of a Paris Saint-Germain coach, Sunday at the Parc des Princes. This Friday, at a press conference, there was talk of the four-man defense that the technician could line up in the absence of his centrals Presnel Kimpembé (injured) and Sergio Ramos (suspended). Or the probable return of Lionel Messi, package due to a calf problem in Reims (0-0) last Saturday, then during the return match against Benfica on Tuesday (1-1).

But Galtier also seized the opportunity of a question asked by a colleague to empty his bag, well filled with controversy after an almost idyllic start. “I am the coach of PSG, I am happy, I am proud of it, he first let go. Finally I realize that match after match, conference after conference, on a conference of 10 or 15 minutes, we must speak 1 minute 30 of football. When you are the PSG coach you are very exposed but this is very special, it is every day. I’m sure that when I go home tonight, there will still be something. It’s not a pressure for me but it’s very annoying and unpleasant not to talk about football and my job. »

“Kylian had the best response”

It must be said that the capital club remains an inexhaustible source of confusion off the field, the latest concerning the “digital army” that PSG would have deployed to harm certain players and a few “opponents”, but also Kylian Mbappé’s departure wishes.

“I’m not here to comment on rumours, decided the former Nice technician. On Kylian, there were rumors that came out the afternoon of the match [de Benfica]. Kylian had the best response, he was voted player of the match, in a meeting [qui n’était] not very high level. He was efficient, generous for the team, very supportive. And promised, he didn’t “talk about the rumor [d’une velléité de départ] with Mbappé.

“Whatever I can tell you, you don’t believe me since you write the opposite, you say the opposite,” also lamented Galtier. Not easy every day, life as a PSG coach.
