Julien Fournier reacts to the revelations concerning Christophe Galtier
Julien Fournier reacted in nice morning. The former sports director of Nice, whose email concerning Christophe Galtier was revealed in particular in After Foot on RMC, says he is not the source of the leak:
“I am currently in Brazil far from this controversy with which I am associated at my expense. I am in no way responsible for the dissemination of this year-old internal information at the time of my departure from the club. I have never fired on an ambulance, despite all our differences with Christophe Galtier and above all I have too much respect for OGC Nice, a club whose colors I proudly defended for more than ten years and the people in place, who are currently preparing for one of the most important meetings in their history in the European Cup. The timing of these revelations revolts me as much as their content.”
The Nice Ultras knock out Christophe Galtier
The ultras are unleashed against Christophe Galtier. The Paris Saint-Germain coach has suffered a media hurricane since the revelation on Tuesday evening of an email from Julien Fournier containing serious accusations against him. The Collectif Ultras Paris had contented itself with a succinct press release this Wednesday noon, the very serious facts of which it is accused not being proven.
But the ultras of the Popular South counter-attacked them much more violently. Because a dispute opposed them to Christophe Galtier last weekend, after the deployment of an insulting banner in the stands. The French technician was moved on the field, then at a press conference, attracting the wrath of Nice supporters.
“We are still looking for offensive terms on the banner?! they quip this Wednesday in a vitriolic press release. The Ultras from Nice denounce a media system that “some” would take advantage of for personal purposes, to serve their own interests. Christophe Galtier would be part of of “this caste”.
“He knows perfectly well the origin of the chambering of the banner, he had laughed at it during his first meeting at the club with us. A bit manipulative the gentleman”, denounce the supporters. “His well-directed communication should not make us forget that he only communicates when it suits him… Strangely, we don’t hear him on the mess in the locker room during the second part of last season”, do- they still notice.” “Christophe, when you have a dirty ass, making waves, it brings shit up”, conclude the supporters about Christophe Galtier.
The CUP wants Galtier to leave “if the facts are proven”
“The Collectif Ultras Paris is closely following the Galtier affair. If the facts of which he is accused are proven, it is not acceptable for this person to remain in the organization chart of the club. We remind you that we have always positioned ourselves against all forms of discrimination and this fight is a historic cause of our Virage.”

Internal investigation at PSG around the Christophe Galtier affair
It was in Doha that the president of PSG became aware of the “bomb” Christophe Galtier, through the disclosure of information in After Foot. According to our information, the management of PSG does not want to rush or give in to panic. Well aware that there are two words that will clash, the entourage of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has launched its own investigation to try to find out more.
As an employer, the Parisian club wants to do things right so as not to blame one of its employees. Still according to our information, at the time of the first contacts with Galtier to bring him to Paris, Nasser Al Khelaïfi was not aware of the details and the content of the remarks allegedly made by Galtier, in particular concerning the Muslim religion.
“If he had known, Galtier would never have been able to sign at PSG, impossible”, they say in the entourage of the boss of QSI. In addition, the Parisian management maintains good relations with the bosses of Inéos, the majority shareholder of Nice. And this despite the departure of Jean-Claude Blanc to the petrochemical group or the competition for the takeover of Manchester United. Good relations which should allow PSG to know the veracity of Galtier’s remarks. If they are proven, of course, the departure of Galtier is beyond doubt. In the meantime, PSG should let Galtier speak publicly to expose his version potentially before the match-eve press conference scheduled for Friday.

Medina promises to put Mbappé “in an ambulance” if he escapes
Facundo Medina, defender of Lens, launches the shock against PSG on Saturday by promising a muscular preferential treatment to Kylian Mbappé if he escapes him.
“For me, it’s more difficult to mark Leo because I’m afraid of hurting him, confides the Lensois, scorer against Strasbourg (2-1) last week. The other (Mbappé, editor’s note) is also difficult to score, but you know me…”, he explains in the live Twitch of the Son Aviones channel.
“If Messi passes me and escapes, I grab him and kiss him asking him to give me a hug,” laughs the former Talleres player, who arrived in Lens in 2020. And if it’s of Mbappe? “An ambulance will have to come and get him.”

Hello everyone and welcome to this live around PSG
We are Wednesday, three days before the shock of the 31st day of Ligue 1. On Saturday, PSG welcomes RC Lens (9 p.m.), in what would almost look like a final for the title of champion of France. Paris six points ahead of Lensois in good shape and who still want to dream.
The Parisians remain on a 2-0 victory in Nice last Saturday, after a match which could have turned in favor of the Aiglons without a great Gianluigi Donnarumma. Franck Haise’s players won at Bollaert against Strasbourg (2-1).
