Managing such a squad is a privilege. We must have a common project, with no compromise. I\u2019m not going to revolutionize the changing room, I know I\u2019ll have everyone\u2019s support. Once a player is not in the project, they will be set aside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Galtier then dropped breadcrumbs about how PSG will likely operate with him on the touchline, which has already brought a cadre of praised campaigns during his previous tenures in the top flight of French football, while also briefly discussing what shape PSG could adopt with him at the helm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to see intensity, rhythm, and the players winning the ball back quickly high up the pitch. I haven\u2019t met the players yet but I\u2019ve spoken with the management about what I want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA three-man defense has been spoken about a lot. I\u2019m lucky to have incredible wing players but also those at the heart of play.
