"Are you making fun of me?", PSG manager Galtier snaps at reporter in furious rant

Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier defended his tactics after being questioned by a reporter.

After the defeat against

Bayern Munich

in the Champions League,

Christophe Galtier

is under pressure.

PSG

 has also recently lost against Marseille in the Coupe de France and Monaco in Ligue 1.

Ahead of the game against his former club Lille, Galtier was asked whether he would use the same defensive tactics he deployed against Bayern.

"Are you making fun of me by asking this question?"

Galtier who replaced Mauricio Pochettino last summer said, interrupting the reporter.

"Do you think I was satisfied with what I saw against Bayern? No, I was not satisfied.

"My players didn't do well. We had a game plan that was adapted to the players available. Do you think that starting Warren Zaire-Emery in such an important Champions League game under the age of 17 is something I had been working towards?

"The circumstances dictated that, and I didn't have other options. We wanted to contain Bayern Munich, to then move into the second phase by bringing Kylian on.

"When Kylian came on, it created more openings for Bayern, but also for us. It was a different game.

"I respect your question, but if you think that I enjoyed watching my team play that way for 60 minutes, it's because – with a lot of respect – you are lacking a little respect."

The reporter insisted that Galtier had not given an answer to his question.

Galtier responded:

"PSG have to play attacking, attractive football. It doesn't have to be spectacular, but it has to be effective to win. If the players can put on a spectacle and entertain the fans, of course we will do that."

PSG is five points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table after 23 matches.
