Behind the sanction of the Paris Saint-Germain to Lionel Messiafter a lightning trip that he made with his family to Saudi Arabia at the beginning of the week, the French press sought the word of one of the protagonists of this story: Christopher Galtier. However, the French coach refused this Friday to comment on the punishment to the Argentine soccer player, but recognized that the club from the French capital is not experiencing a pleasant period. In addition, he did not clarify if the genius from Rosario has already played his last game with the shirt of the current champion of the Ligue 1.
The coach spoke like this at a press conference after the harsh sanction against the Argentine star for having traveled last Monday – without permission, according to the club – just one day after the defeat in the French Ligue 1 against Lorient (1-3 ) alleging that he had an advertising commitment to Saudi Arabia.
Galtier’s was the first official reaction from PSG since the announcement of Messi’s punishment (separated from the team for two weeks without employment and salary). The coach explained “having complied with” that management’s decision after being “informed at the beginning of the week.”
“I am an employee of the club and I have decided not to comment on it”, accurate. For Galtier, “There is a big gap between what is said and what we live inside, although it is clear that the news this week has been Leo’s suspension.”
He criticized the treatment by the press, which he considers unfair, although he conceded that the club “He does not live a pleasant period.” On whether the clash on April 30 in the league match with Lorient was Messi’s last in a PSG shirt, the coach said that it will be necessary to “See with Leo himself, who is the main affected”.
What games will Lionel Messi miss?
The world champion with Argentina and seven times Ballon d’Or will not be able to play or train while the suspension imposed by the club lasts. He will miss at least the league games against Troyes (May 7) and Ajaccio (May 13).
