Paris Saint-Germain started the season on a steady sporting pace after winning the Trophée des Champions against Nantes and starting Ligue 1 with two victories (against Clermont and Montpellier). However, it has experienced some shocks in the last few hours. While the most resounding was the fight between Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, manager Christophe Galtier uncovered a new internal conflict within the club in his last press conference.
After minimizing the clash between the French striker and the Brazilian, the coach focused on the transfer market and pointed against the task of Antero Henrique, who used to be PSG's sporting director between 2017 and 2019 and who by decision of president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi returned to the institution to carry out the negotiations of players who train separately from the professional squad, which allows the Frenchman to have more cash to face the reinforcements it needs.

"We were in a hurry. In a week we will string together matches every three days. We must not believe that it is easy to integrate a player and that he will be oriented after three or four days. There is a model of play, some principles of play, a connection that new players must find with their teammates so, obviously, the fact that players do not arrive affects us on a sporting level," warned the coach.
Galtier, although he added Vitinha, Hugo Ekitiké, Nordi Mukiele and Renato Sanches, considers that he is still missing a central defender (Milan Skriniar, from Inter), a midfielder (Fabián Ruiz, from Napoli) and a striker to complete his squad.
During the press conference, the manager stressed that the team's preparation falls on him, the Portuguese Luis Campos (new football director) and the president. "I want to clarify one thing: the sporting direction and decision making is done by the president, Luis Campos and myself on how the squad should be. We have identified the needs with our busy schedule because we will play every three days from the end of August to November 13…” he stated.
