Behind the agitation and controversy over the party organized by Neymar in Brazil for New Year’s Eve, Parisian footballers are taking advantage of a longer cut than usual, linked to the absence of the Coupe de France at the resumption. While waiting for the imminent appointment of Mauricio Pochettino and the return to training scheduled for Sunday, January 3, the PSG players are recharging their batteries and delivering some images on social networks.
Mbappé, Pembélé, Diallo or Gueye, in particular, found the time to send a little message to Thomas Tuchel, who landed after their victory against Strasbourg. The accounts of the players or their wives mostly relay family vacations, as the club reminded players of the precautionary advice linked to the Covid-19 epidemic.
Kylian Mbappé has not lost any of his sense of spectacle or dribbling. On vacation in Marrakech, the PSG striker engaged in a game on reduced ground in the company of some friends, according to images relayed by the Instagram account “Paris no limit” and reposted by the world champion on his own account. The latter ends the action with a devastating hook and two wheels that allow him to score in a good mood.
Like the French, most Parisians have chosen to spend the end of year celebrations in the sun and Morocco is the fashionable destination. Marco Verratti or Kays Ruiz have chosen this destination. The Italian midfielder took the opportunity to ask his French partner Jessica Aidi in marriage, according to the very beautiful engagement ring worn by the young woman on the ring finger and the message relayed in his story (“Of course … She said yes ”).
Dubai is the other favorite drop-off point for players who have not returned to their home country. In the ultramodern Emirati city, rival of Doha, Angel Di Maria exercises on a huge sun terrace while her two daughters enjoy the swimming pool. Idrissa Gueye is also accompanied by his wife and two young children.
Kimpembe’s sports sessions
Most South Americans took advantage of the holidays to return to their native continent. Leandro Paredes showed up for a barbecue in the company of fifteen people, while Marquinhos is in his villa in Sao Paulo with his extended family circle and celebrated Christmas with flip flops on his feet.
Keylor Navas is with his family in the lush and magnificent nature of Costa Rica, overflown by helicopter. Mauro Icardi, after six difficult months, has also chosen his native land, with his wife and compatriot Wanda Icardi. She has not forgotten the promotion of her Vuitton trunks which contrast with the Argentinian pampas and asado (barbecue) prepared in front of their “hut”.

Presnel Kimpembe also chose the beach, without specifying his destination. The central defender, always fond of big physical sessions during his holidays, appears at the gym at… 11:27 pm.
In this end of year period when players often stay with their loved ones, Mitchel Bakker and Moise Kean preferred to go on vacation together on the Caribbean island of Barbados where they display their sports sessions and some musical moments on the beach.
Small twists to sunny destinations, Thilo Kehrer and Timothée Pembélé preferred a few days in the mountains in destinations they did not specify. Meanwhile, future coach Mauricio Pochettino would still be in London. But it is doubtful that he is actually on vacation.
