Mauricio Pochettino is already history and Paris Saint-Germain already has a new driver. The man chosen for this new stage of PSG is called Christophe Galtier55-year-old from Marseilles who already knows what it takes to win Ligue 1. Yesterday he showed up at the Parc des Princes together with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, owner of the French club since 2011 and he has shown that he has very clear ideas.
With the arrival of the former Lille and Nice – among others – it was learned that the squad will suffer a big cut. At the press conference, the coach commented on his idea on the formation of the team: “I am demanding, I like to work, but above all I like that the players are happy. Through our work and our relationship, I want a happy wardrobe. That’s why I think you need to reduce the workforceWe talked a lot about it with the management. You can’t have a whole season of players barely playing. They are unhappy. We will make sure to find the right size “.
The consumer goods list has seven names, one of which is well known in our country. The players that would not be considered are: Layvin Kurzawa, Abdou Diallo, Ander Herrera, Julian Draxler, Idrissa Gueye, Thilo Kehrer and Mauro Icardi.
The former Inter player, who arrived in Paris in 2019, has played 64 and scored 23 goals in the championship. Rosario was bought for 50 million euros, but today he seems to have no place in the team. There will be no shortage of offers, in fact he received the polls from Monza – a team recently promoted to Serie A and chaired by Berlusconi – and from the French OGC Nize.

Regardless of the possible casualties, the brand new coach is already beginning to imagine how his team will play and has been encouraged to give indications on what will be seen tactically. “I will have to put the players in the best conditions. I have the opportunity to have incredible running backs, but it will also be necessary to know who will be part of the animation in the game, but there is an orientation towards a 3-man defense.”
In terms of incorporations, for the moment, it has only the incorporation of the Portuguese Vitinha. This 22-year-old player comes from Porto and PSG has paid close to € 40 million for his pass.
A demonstration of Galtier’s commitment and desire was seen in his request to bring forward the date of the return to the practice. Although the players have had a few more days off, they have already returned to training to focus on the new season. In fact, you could already see images of Lionel Messi while he was working out in the gym. The Parisian outfit will be touring Japan to prepare for a new beginning.
