Satisfied of course.
It is with the feeling of accomplishment that Christophe Galtier appeared at a press conference after the 5-0 victory of PSG in Clermont, for the 1st day of Ligue 1.
The team maintained great intensity from start to finish, without slowing down. Isn't that the great satisfaction of the evening?
CHRISTOPHER GALTIER.
Of course, that's part of the satisfaction.
We are delighted with the way in which we maintained a high rhythm, put in the intensity to recover the ball, there were a lot of reactions to the loss, I insist on that, I talk about it a lot with my players.
Both last week against Nantes, and tonight, it's very good.
But it's only one game left.
We have the feeling that the players are having fun, do you think too?
Football is a game and when you play you have to have fun.
But the pleasure can only be present if everyone plays in unison and makes the effort for each other.
The technical sequences are very good, even if we had a little waste at times.
There is this desire to work together.
There are pivotal moments in a match where we have to show that we are there, present, and that we are not slacking off.
We still have to work on it, develop it, and have it in mind to have no problem depending on the match and the situations.
Is that this Messi you want to see?
I spoke with Leo during our stay in Japan.
I spoke with our offensive sector to make sure that they can perform all the time.
Leo has a very sharp, very clear tactical sense, he quickly sees where he has to go.
The way he defends, the way he positions himself to play with each other... he's in an area that he likes, he likes to play with the players around him, and when Leo smiles, obviously the team smiles too.

He always manages to find a magic gesture like on the 5th goal, did he surprise you?
Surprised, no, but I enjoyed the goal.
Leo, you know, he's been playing at a very high level for 17 years.
He had a difficult season and he had to acclimatize.
But, all the seasons before this one, it was at least 30 goals.
From the moment he has made a complete preparation, that he has his bearings at the family level, but also on the club and its partners, there is no reason that he should not have a great season.
When he's teamed up with Kylian, he'll have even more offensive power.
That's why I have to find the best balance, the best formula, so that all these offensive forces are effective over the duration of a match.
Will the reduction in the group which continued with the absences of Idrissa Gueye and Mauro Icardi continue?
There is what allows us to do labor law and the League during this period.
We can split the group in two if we feel the need.
We will do it until the end of the transfer window. The players know the situation, they are professional players, we must respect them.
It's not easy for them, we'll see if they manage to find a project that suits them or if they want to stay.
Did a player like Pablo Sarabia convince you?
Pablo played a lot.
With the suspension of Kylian (Mbappé) and his muscular discomfort today, he had high playing time to find the best attacking animation.
He is an important player who strikes the right balance.
I'm really happy with what he's been doing since the 4th of July.
How is Kylian Mbappe?
After the last session, he consulted the medical staff.
He had a small alert in the adductors, there is nothing bad but we did not want to take any risks.
I think Kylian will be present against Montpellier.
And Sergio Ramos, how is he?
He's fine, he's had some muscle soreness.
We talked about it at half-time and we agreed that he wouldn't play the whole game.
