After thrashing Lille 7-1 over the weekend, the Paris team seemed unstoppable with 17 goals scored and three goals allowed in three games. There are no questions about the French team's quality, but there have been concerns raised about the large egos in the locker room.
After taking over, Christophe Galtier made maintaining team unity one of his primary priorities. Even while there has been some conflict concerning penalties, it appears that the strategist has so far brought everyone together.

"I'm not surprised by his debut," Eric Blondel, who worked with Galtier at Saint-Etienne spoke to L’Equipe about the manager’s style and strong character. “I'm sure Christophe will succeed there. He is a guy who has character, charisma and isn't afraid to say things, even to players like Kylian Mbappe or Neymar”.
Galtier know how to manage superstars
Blondel continued to praise the PSG boss and spoke about his methods: “He knows how to speak to them. He'll take them gently by the neck, by the shoulder, and talk to them about life in general and, when he feels the moment is right, he'll delicately slip in what it is he expects from them on the pitch and in the dressing room”.
