The day after the press conference by Christophe Galtier and Kylian Mbappé who openly laughed at a question from a journalist about their short plane trips, Pascal Praud decided to come to the defense of Paris Saint-Germain by opening his show Time for the pros with an editorial that could shock.
New controversy for Paris Saint-Germain. This Monday afternoon, Christophe Galtier made his first big misstep in terms of communication since his arrival on the PSG bench. Two days after their flight to Nantes when the journey only took two hours by train, a controversy arose: But why, in the age of global warming, don’t professional footballers choose a more environmentally friendly means of transport?
So a journalist asked the question at a press conference, provoking the hilarity of Christophe Galtier and the young PSG star, Kylian Mbappé, present at his side. The French coach then replied to his interlocutor: “I suspected that we would be entitled to this question. To be very honest with you, this morning, we spoke with the company that organizes our trips. We’re trying to see if we can’t get around in a sand yacht“, full of irony.
Pascal Praud: “Galtier responded like a king’s musketeer”
After a big buzz on social networks and taken up by almost the entire political class, Pascal Praud decided to open his daily show, L’heure des pros, with this subject, this Tuesday, September 6. “The Tartuffe and the Robespierre who fall on Christophe Galtier this morning illustrate that we do not trifle with the new religion that is ecology. Sand yachting is blasphemy, Galtier a heretic and Mbappé a renegade. Going to quarrel with PSG because the players travel by plane does not make much sense. The controversy is ridiculous like so many subjects that single thought puts on the table“.
Before continuing : “The private jet is the new fight for the trissotins. The Paris Saint-Germain coach made a pirouette by saying ‘we are going to travel in a sand yacht’ (…) Galtier responded like a king’s musketeer, like a free spirit, unlike the little gray men who saturate the media space. I don’t know if the Paris coach was right to send the do-gooders to boil an egg. But I’d rather be wrong with him than right with everyone who attacks him. Question of feeling: Christophe Galtier is an honest man”. What rekindle the controversy.
