Football the French major club Paris Saint-Germain makes an environmental gesture and travels to the league match in Reims on Saturday by bus. Just a month ago, PSG’s head coach Christophe Galtier and star player Kylian Mbappé scoffed at the suggestion that the club should stop flying on short game trips.
Reims is located about 150 kilometers northeast of Paris. PSG, sponsored by a Qatari airline, made the same away trip by plane last season.
“We travel by bus, even if we are tired. The location is close to our home, so we have a good time on the bus,” said Galtier, according to PSG TV.
Galtier was asked at the beginning of September why PSG made the 380-kilometer journey to Nantes by plane, even though the city could have been reached quickly by bullet train. Mbappé laughed at the train travel suggestion to break up, and Galtierkin gave a sarcastic response to the question.
“We are investigating with our tour operators whether it would be possible for us to travel on windsurfers used on sandy beaches,” Galtier answered.
Galtier received a barrage of criticism from French politicians for his rash words. The head coach later regretted his comment and said that he takes climate change seriously.
