Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier announced that he’s about to introduce a third tactical system to use this season. The unusual statement comes ahead of Sunday’s Ligue 1 encounter with AJ Auxerre.🔛🎬📽️Our coach Christophe Galtier visited the #PSGTV studio to talk all things #PSGAJA ❤️💙 pic.twitter.com/7YGGBfqltl— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) November 11, 2022 Galtier started the season in a 3-4-3 formation before reverting to a slightly more familiar 4-3-3. But he publicly admitted that he needs more variety to “surprise their opponents”.”It’s interesting to be able to evolve in two systems. But I think that we will evolve in three systems to have at a certain moment when facing different profiles and levels of opponents. I want the possibility of using one of three systems. For the moment, we have seen two systems but I am thinking and I am also asking my staff to work on another one so that we can keep our offensive strength, while finding a way to be as balanced as possible. The idea is to be able to recover the ball as soon as possible.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6806166##When you’ve got so many quality players in your squad, it’s natural that you want to use them in various ways. When you’ve got three such attacking players like Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi, you want to put them to good use, making formations with three attackers the most logical. But Galtier might try to mix it up with a 4-2-3-1 or perhaps even the classic 4-4-2. According to the former Lille and Nice head coach, the tactical plans have nothing to do with the prospect of playing Bayern in the UEFA Champions League early next year.”I want to allow my players to add another dimension to see what we can do better, not because we got Bayern Munich but because we want to be even better.”Alright, Christophe, we believe you.LIGUE 1 – ROUND 15Friday23:00: (1.85) Olympique Lyon (3.70) Nice (4.60)Saturday19:00: (1.45) Lens (4.50) Clermont (8.50)23:00: (1.50) Rennes (4.30) Toulouse (6.50)Sunday15:00: (1.15) PSG (10.0) Auxerre (18.0)17:00: (2.20) Brest (3.50) Troyes (3.50)17:00: (1.35) Lille (5.00) Angers (9.00)17:00: (2.55) Montpellier (3.30) Reims (3.00)17:00: (2.10) Nantes (3.35) Ajaccio (4.00)19:05: (2.30) Strasbourg (3.40) Lorient (3.35)22:45: (2.40) Monaco (3.40) Olympique Marseille (3.15)***odds are subject to change***
