Champions League: "I don't think we're favorites in C1", the essence of Galtier's press conference

After our victory in Nantes, the players quickly projected themselves on the meeting of tomorrow.

It's a competition the players love, great exposure, a great trophy.

It's the first time I've seen the players project themselves so quickly into a match, both individually and collectively.

Everyone prepared well and recovered well.

Afterwards, an excitement?

No, there is the desire to start this competition with a magnificent poster.

No, it would be very reductive compared to the other competitors.

Each year, eight nine teams hope to win.

Each year, favorites do not go to the end, there are surprises, incredible scenarios, with the emotional lift on matches.

That the club has the ambition to win is legitimate.

Whether the club is a favourite, I don't think.

to start?

Yes.

He started training separately with a very specific warm-up in relation to the shock he suffered on Saturday.

Afterwards, he did the entire session.

It's a team with a lot of experience, high-level players and a coach who knows this competition a lot, a very difficult team to beat.

This team is said to be in trouble, but they are unbeaten in Serie A and have only conceded two goals.

It is a difficult team to maneuver and against which it is difficult to create situations through their organization and defensive intensity.

Juve are very strong in the transition phases.

I am confident in my team's ability to play, to play to win.

Players have benchmarks in our system.

We will have to insist on our offensive animation in order to create as much danger as possible.

Benfica, main opponent of Juventus in the group according to Allegri?

I leave his words to him… He has a lot more

Why is it the toughest competition, more than the World Cup?

The best players in the world are gathered in this competition, it's difficult.

The pressure, I've had it since I accepted this role, this mission to train this magnificent team, these magnificent players.

More pressure in this competition?

No way.

I want to play it, to show what we are capable of.

I didn't say I didn't have any pressure, but I don't have any extra pressure (smile).

The hierarchy is like that at the moment, I'm happy with his performance.

I know Keylor works hard, competes and is ready to be available for the team when needed.

But I'm happy with what Gigio does, what he brings to the team, his presence.

I suspected that we would have this question… To be honest, we spoke with the company that organizes our trips, we are in the process of seeing if we cannot travel by sand yacht.

It's a shame he can't come back to the Parc des Princes, he wrote beautiful pages in the history of this club.

He was an exemplary and very successful player in Paris.

I cannot rejoice in his absence because he is injured.

I think he would have liked to play this game.

When he is there, he brings experience, the quality of his left foot, on set pieces, his vista, but the player who will replace him will be of a high level.
