Beaten by Lorient (3-1) at home this Sunday, PSG failed mentally and showed sufficiency, according to coach Christophe Galtier. Like his sporting director, Luis Campos, the PSG coach expects a quick change of mind.
PSG lost (3-1) against Lorient at the Parc des Princes this Sunday afternoon. A third home defeat this season for the Parisians after a completely failed match where Hakimi was sent off and during which Nuno Mendes left following a muscle injury.
In a press conference, Christophe Galtier acknowledged a lack of concentration on the part of his players: “There can be sufficiency, in certain situations, yes! In particular in this ability to recover the balls, in duels and in 1 against 1. And god knows that tonight we had a very good Lorient team opposite. A playful and non-athletic team with a big physical impact. When you don’t win your duels in a match, regardless of the level, either you are beaten on an athletic level, or on a mental level. This afternoon, I think that we let go on a mental level.
“Do we send everything in the trash?”
A mental failure according to the Parisian coach. This is not the first time that PSG have let go in this area for several seasons. And the former Nice coach does not necessarily seem to have the levers to remedy this Parisian deficiency: “It is certain that it is an element on which we must speak. We cannot work on the mental level. The question What do we want to do with the points lead and the five games that will come? Do we send everything to the trash? Do we say to ourselves that if we are champion, we are champions and if we are not champions, too bad? No! There is this title to go after, not to mention the future of each other.”
Christophe Galtier is on the same wavelength as his sporting director, Luis Campos. The two men are waiting for a quick change of state of mind in order to get this 11th championship title: “We have been first from the start and we have to finish this championship with the title. But to get the title, we have to to have, like our competitors, another state of mind and a greater investment for certain players.” First element of response on the change of mindset next Sunday with the trip from PSG to Troyes.
