Paris Saint-Germain receives Angers on Wednesday (21:00) on behalf of the 18th day of Ligue 1. This Tuesday, the day before this meeting, Christophe Galtier appeared in the press conference from 13:00. LTDPSG tells you all its statements.
Galtier on the group
“The group had been dispersed for a while. We found density in the group, unfortunately Marco (Verratti) felt discomfort in his thigh. We’ll see in the exams. The group is not complete but is more operational than in recent weeks. »
Galtier on the calendar
“The pace is high, but we have to do better than we did in Lens. We’ll have to show another face. There have been some interesting things in the Coupe de France, but it’s a completely different competition. »
Galtier on the SCO Angers
“Angers managed to eliminate Strasbourg in the Coupe de France. Since the change of coach it is a dangerous team against Lorient and Ajaccio. We will have to package the game to find automatisms and recreate a dynamic of victories. Everyone’s ranking doesn’t change anything, each of us has our own goals, both teams will want to win. But we have to be better offensively. »
Galtier on Messi’s extension
“There are discussions, the sports management has discussed with Leo on the issue of extension. I do not know where it is. Leo seems happy to me in Paris. Then we need to see his position with respect to the club’s project. This is a topic I don’t discuss with him. »
Galtier on Renato Sanches and Sarabia
“Renato is fine, he integrated the sessions. He will be available for the Rennes match but not for tomorrow. Sarabia is a player who has played little, it’s always difficult to orient yourself quickly. She was very interesting at the start of the match in the Coupe de France. I’ve seen the reviews. He himself cannot be satisfied with the performance he has been able to give, but I find that the criticisms have been exaggerated in my opinion. »
Galtier on Mukiele
“He is a player we wanted to have, he is very versatile. He settled in quickly, he has worked a lot in the last few weeks during the World Cup break. It is a satisfaction. We will have a very busy schedule. Achraf Hakimi played a lot at the World Cup. »
Galtier on a possible captain of Mbappé in blue
“I’m not Didier Deschamps, I don’t think he will make the wrong choice. Kylian is 24 years old, with many games on the clock already, incredible performances. Being a captain comes with a lot of responsibilities. Even without the armband, Kylian is a team and dressing room leader. »

Galtier on the friendly in Saudi Arabia
The commitment was made last season, the club must respect it. Is it well located? We had to fulfill the commitment made. I respect the commitments made. »
Galtier on Le Graët
“Zidane deserves respect and I’m sure he has everyone’s respect. The words that were said created a strong reaction. I won’t comment on these lyrics. I don’t usually shoot ambulances, so I won’t comment further. »
Galtier on Mbappé’s tweet after the release of Le Graët
“I saw Kylian’s reaction. Kylian is a big boy, he comes out of the PSG context. He spoke from the heart, his words belong to him. »
Galtier on youth strategy
“It’s not a strategy. Very good young people are trained, some have left and we find them at the highest level. It was a desire to reduce the workforce to create space for our young talent. They were very interesting in the Coupe de France. They must be supervised by experienced players. During the winter market there will be no arrivals if there are no departures. »
Zaire-Emery starting against Angers?
“He is able to start a Ligue 1 match but also a Champions League match. I am convinced. »
