“This morning, we discussed with the company with which we travel to find out if we could not travel by sand yacht.“, threw Christophe Galtier in response to a question about the controversy that followed the Parisians’ trip, during a press conference.
The laughter of Kylian Mbappé and Christophe Galtier
Before answering the question, the PSG coach and Kylian Mbappe, seated next to him, burst out laughing. The director of TGV-Intercités Alain Krakovitch criticized PSG on Sunday for using the plane rather than the train to get to Nantes.
The boss of the TGV explained that the SNCF offers an offer adapted to the needs of the club, “for our common interests: safety, speed, services and eco-mobility.”
The Parisian club very embarrassed
This 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 ensure certain trips abroad. If negotiations are in progress, Paris Saint-Germain specifies that they are faced with “logistical and security barriers“.
The Parisian club, very embarrassed, specifies taking the topic “very seriously“ and recalls having used a bus to get around Lille while explaining that “it is often the means of transport chosen for short-distance cities.”
