Paris Saint Germain threatens its stars: “Agree or leave”

“You have to discipline yourself on and off the field,” Christophe Galtier said on the day he was introduced as the new coach of Paris Saint-Germain. This declaration of intent is in line with a declaration made by the president of the French club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, at the end of June: “The complacency is over.”

In Paris, they are still waiting for the results of the huge amount of millions that have been invested in recent years to raise the Champions League once and for all. For this reason, the club’s new strategy is to impose strong discipline on its team.

As a result of this change of tone, PSG appointed Luis Campos as their new sporting director. L’Equipe tells us that Campos has the full confidence of the president of the Paris club. And that he also put the dots above the letters on the first day he met the players.

Campos made it clear that the rules will be set and that everyone is obligated to comply with them. “If there are those who do not agree, they are free to leave,” he added.

No going out at night

The new rules that prevail at PSG range from the least important, such as breakfasts and lunches for the whole team together, and no phone calls, to favoring group relationships. Of course, camp cell phones will not be banned.

Although perhaps the most controversial new measure is the ban on going out at night. Which is why Luis Campos was aware of the night spots frequented by Parisian players. Thus having some control over their actions. This action got the approval of his court, who commented that “If there are players who are out of frame, they will be sent off. There will be no player above the group.”

So far, no player from Paris Saint-Germain has objected to these measures. The question is, will they have a lot of continuity at the club? In 2019, with the arrival of Leonardo, they also wanted to set a tough tone with the team, but that didn’t change the dynamic.
