Monday evening, the communication of the PSG also holds a completely different speech than that of the coach: the club explains to negotiate since “several months” with the SNCF to provide some of its trips abroad. If the negotiations are in progress, the PSG specifies to be confronted with “logistical and security barriers”.
“It’s a subject that we take very seriously.adds the club requested by the sports department of Radio France. We have about 25 away games per season. For each trip, we study the best travel opportunity through numerous criteria (cost, travel time, security, public order, time of day, match venue, stadium accessibility, AND environmental protection).
PSG also recalls having used a bus to get around Lille recently, specifying: “It’s often the mode of transport chosen for short-distance cities.”
