The Blues were treated to a big physical session yesterday morning under the leadership of Cyril Moine. The French physical trainer did not spare the players of the France team, including rhythmic exercises between “15” – 15 “” and “30” – 30 “”, in intervals.
The second session of the day started around 5:45 p.m. in the sunny Pibarot stadium. Thomas Lemar was still absent, to treat his left thigh. With the integration of Paul Pogba, who arrived the day before, there were 19 field players to warm up, divided into 3 groups with blue, orange and yellow chasubles, on the sidelines of the 3 goalkeepers. Guy Stéphan led this warm-up, before a more fun game on 4 goals, including one without a goalkeeper, and returned.
Opposition followed over two-thirds of the field at 10-10, with Steve Mandanda in the field and among the yellow. In the blues team, Didier Deschamps had decided to associate Antoine Griezmann, Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé. This second workout of the day ended around 7 p.m. with a stretching session.
To avoid a hook by Clairefontaine where they were expected Monday night, N’Golo Kanté, Kurt Zouma and Olivier Giroud, the three Champions League winners, with Chelsea, will finally join the group on Tuesday in Nice.
