PSG will play six games in 16 days, with a last-16 French Cup
clash against Olympique de Marseille and a last-16 Champions
League tie against Bayern Munich next month.
The capital side only have a three-point lead over second-placed
RC Lens in Ligue 1 and they have shown a worrying lack of
creativity and aggressiveness in recent matches, losing two away
games in a row in the league, against Lens and Stade Rennais.
"With a series of matches every three, four days starting newt
week, we will have to be very vigilant in the way we deal with
the squad, in terms of turnover and physical form," Galtier said
after PSG eased into the French Cup last 16 with a 7-0 thrashing
of amateurs Pays de Cassel on Monday.
While it could be tempting to focus mainly on the Champions
League - a trophy PSG have yet to win - Galtier said the club
would not favour any game over others.
"Our ambition is to go all the way," Galtier said when asked
about the trip to Marseille, a week before they host Bayern.
"And for that we will have to knock OM out in a context that's
not easy in terms of match schedule."
PSG start their run with three league games against Stade de
Reims, Montpellier and Toulouse between Sunday and March 5,
before their trip to OM, a Ligue 1 clash against Monaco and the
Bayern Champions League first leg between Feb. 7-14.
