PSG coach sparks controversy

PSG stars who film themselves on board their private plane to go play in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique), rather than taking the TGV, as the SNCF offers. Faced with the controversy, the coach of the Parisian football club, Christophe Galtier, was ironic. “We are trying to see if we can not move in a sand yacht”, he said, Monday, September 5. Striker Kylian Mbappé, at his side at a press conference, burst out laughing.

“Mr. Galtier, you have accustomed us to more relevant and more responsible responses, are we talking about it?”, reacted Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, the Minister of Sports, on Twitter. “No, but it’s not okay to answer such things? Shall we wake up guys?”, wrote Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris. According to PSG, going to stations can generate security problems for its players. However, other major European clubs are beginning to test the train to fight against global warming.
