"We have to make them progress on a mental level" - PSG manager Christophe Galtier explains where club can improve ahead of Ligue 1 encounter against Nice

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Christophe Galtier believes there is still room for improvement in the squad ahead of their encounter against OGC Nice on Saturday, October 1.

Galtier stated that the PSG squad could still improve the mental side of the game. The former Nice and Lille manager, however, does credit his players for having excellent technical abilities.

Speaking ahead of their Ligue 1 fixture against Nice, Galtier was quoted as saying the following (via Ligue 1's official website):

"You can always improve as a player, especially mentally. On a technical level, the players I have are at an extraordinary level. We have to make them progress on a mental level, on what the job requires, on everything we've worked on in preparation for the session, in preparation for a match, in focus, in determination.

Galtier has also stated that the work at PSG is never complete despite what it might look like from the outside. He added:

"We insist on what we want to see from the team on the positioning that the players must have, which then becomes a movement. Obviously, there's a lot of work to do. When you're at Paris Saint-Germain, people forget that. There's a lot of work on the part of my technical staff, my analysts, my physical trainers and myself."

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are atop the Ligue 1 standings after eight games. Christophe Galtier’s men have seven wins in the league and have scored 26 goals. dlvr.it/SYzGHq
