Neymar “has very well accepted” to start on the bench in Nantes, assures coach Galtier


The Parisian coach delivers his analysis after the quiet success of his players in Nantes this Saturday, three days before facing Juventus in C1.

Christophe Galtier (PSG coach, after the 3-0 victory against Nantes this Saturday, at La Beaujoire): “We had a serious game. The fact of having opened the scoring and being in numerical superiority lowered the tension and allowed me to do what I wanted in terms of game time management. The victory was important, the competitors win, it don't get caught up. A few days before our entry into C1, it was important to keep our level of play.

Neymar replacing at kick-off? There is always the risk of breaking the dynamic from the moment it is not accepted by the player. But I had a long discussion yesterday (Friday) with Ney, I took the decision and he accepted it very well. Ready for Juve? We are having a good run. We score goals, we are quite consistent in the game, the players play for each other. But the C1 is another level. I watched Juve this afternoon (draw on the field of Fiorentina in Serie A, editor's note), it will be a different match. We can't expect an easy match, it will be very tough.»
