Paris Saint-Germain coach, French Football League champion, Christophe Galtier, confirmed Thursday that his team will not celebrate winning its eleventh title in its history, out of respect for its Spanish substitute goalkeeper, Sergio Rico, who is in hospital due to serious injuries after falling from horseback.
Galtier said in a press conference before the Saint-Germain match at home to his guest Clermont on Saturday in the last 38 stage competitions: You realize that we will not have a party, it is a very difficult week, we were all affected, we went on Saturday evening from a championship title to waking up Sunday morning to a more event. It hurts.
We have to have a lot, a lot of restraint, bring in a lot, a lot, a lot of support and keep hope.
The Spanish international goalkeeper is still in hospital in Seville, in serious condition.
And Galtier added: The information that we have comes through the press releases issued by the Seville Hospital. Our doctor is in constant contact with the medical staff and the family, we have no further information, Sergio is a strong boy, physically strong, with what we can do we try to send positive vibes and support to all those close to him.
An atmosphere of sadness prevailed at the capital club during this week’s training due to concern about Rico’s health, while Galtier said: “It is clear that everyone is very affected. .
The French coach emphasized that the group is “very united”, and sends: “a lot of positive vibes and energy to Sergio, his wife, his mother and his loved ones.” For Rico, who “fights every day, every hour, every minute,” he concluded, “there will be no tribute on Saturday night but a “message of support, hope.” We are going to play this match because we have to play it with the best possible attitude.”
