Galtier calms the mood in PSG after Mbappé saga, what he said about penalties

After a week in which the differences between Neymar and Mbappé have been in the news around PSG, Christophe Galtier appeared before the media in the run-up to the league clash against Lille to explain that there are no problems between the Brazilian and the Frenchman. The French coach wants to have a calm atmosphere right from the start of the season, aware of the media episodes that Pochettino faced.

"There is no unrest in the dressing room. We got together quickly after the game against Montpellier and said things to each other's faces. Honestly, I think we've had a very good week of training to prepare for this weekend's game. All this talk in the press stopped being a topic of conversation in the group the day after we won the second matchday at home."

Mbappé’s mother spoke about the 'war' at PSG, what is going on with Neymar

"There is no pecking order but it evolves depending on who is on the pitch. Kylian was the first shooter in that match. Then Neymar was. There was a brief discussion to see who would execute the second, but nothing more important happened. Neymar felt ready to score. Messi and Sergio Ramos can also take on that responsibility".

He also spoke about the relationship between the team's stars: "Messi, Neymar and Mbappé were an effective trident last season. Now they are also constantly looking for each other. It's a real trio, not a pairing between Messi and Neymar. It's easy to integrate Kylian into the team."

PSG's next clash

Galtier expressed his thoughts on the match against Lille: "He has changed coaches. He presses well, he has quality. We will have to be effective on the ball. Lille did well in the Champions League last season and have experience in this type of match. It will be a test for us in terms of intensity.
