SCAN SPORT – After Christophe Galtier’s highly criticized joke on sand yachting trips on Monday, the president of the federation of this water sport invites PSG players to a discovery session.
Christophe Galtier caused controversy during the press conference before the PSG-Juventus match on Tuesday after a question from a journalist about the misuse of private jets. After a long giggle with Kylian Mbappé, the Parisian coach joked that the club “spoke with the company organizing their trips» and that he is « trying to see if the club can not move in sand yachting!
Christophe Roger, president of the French sand yachting federation (FFCV), responded with humor to Christophe Galtier’s controversial statement. Questioned by Europe 1, the leader of the FFCV invited the Parisian club to an initiation to the practice. “I have the pleasure of telling him that we can go to Nantes from Paris in a sand yachthe smiled. It takes just nine hours, a well-oriented and constant wind. It really costs less. Between €100 and €150 you can go land yachting, with a carbon footprint equal to 0. More seriously, if the PSG team, starting with Kylian Mbappé, wishes to come and do land yachting, the French federation will have the pleasure of inviting them to come for a discovery session.»
He specified that the initiation could take place at Plessis-Pâté, in Essonne (91), on the former BA217 air base.
