In a press conference before facing Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening as part of the 16th day of Ligue 1, OGC Nice coach Christophe Galtier admitted to wanting to be inspired by the game proposed by Manchester City, which allowed Cityzens to win against the capital club in the Champions League last week (2-1). The reigning French champion with Lille last season notably emphasized the importance of defensive work in his tactical approach against the leader of the championship.

“You attack well when you defend well. And I'm not talking about basing football on the defensive aspect but when you defend well, you attack well, launched the coach of the Aiglons on Monday. I was able to see images, which I will surely show my players, on Manchester City. It remains an extraordinary team and above all it has certainly defended well against Paris. (...) Top-level football requires good defense. Afterwards, when you have offensive quality, and I believe that we have offensive quality, this offensive quality can be expressed. If you defend badly, you get the ball very low and very far. Your attackers or offensive players find themselves too far from the opposing goal and too far from each other to be able to combine, ” he said before the trip to Paris.
