Marseille is a team that was able to become a nightmare Les Parisiens in the last 16 of Coupe de France earlier this month. Galtier said that they could not depend on key players Mbappe if they wanted to defeat their closest challenger and return to the best performance.
“Everyone is worried. We have to win a duel to get out of Marseille’s pressure. We must have more counterattacks, which we don’t have during the French Cup match. With Kylian, that will happen.”
“However, he’s not the only that can help us. He is able to make a difference, but other players must project themselves more freely and with a greater determination to defeat Marseille,” he said.
Marseille’s head coach, Igor Tudor, stated on Friday that PSG’s quality made them seeded in all matches.
But Galtier disagreed, and instead expressed his belief that his team had to show an increase in their appearance lately if they wanted to be a winner at Le Classique.
“I cannot say that Marseille is a favorite, same with us. For status as a favorite, different dynamics will be needed. But the end of the match against Bayern and against Lille gives us a lot of hope,” he explained.
PSG’s poor performance has reportedly made Galtier under pressure, with former coach Thomas Tuchel associated as a potential substitute if the former Nice coach suffered the same fate as Mauricio Pochettino.
Apart from the importance of the match against Marseille in the race for the title, the opportunity for PSG to avenge their defeat in the French Cup, Galtier did not feel it would be a decisive match in his team season.
“This is an important match. They are two teams that are close in terms of the title with very little point difference. Does this determine to win the title? I don’t think so,” he stated.
