French lawmakers heaped criticism on Paris Saint-Germain’s coach on Tuesday after he fobbed off concerns about the team’s use of chartered flights during a national drive to save energy.

When asked at a news conference if PSG considered using more eco-friendly trains instead of flying to matches, coach Christophe Galtier quipped sarcastically that it might instead switch to using sail-power to transport its millionaire players.
