Before leaving, the PSG players know their date of resumption of training. The members of the professional group not competing in the World Cup in Qatar will meet on December 5 at the Camp des Loges. But the break of more than three weeks will not be a total rest.
PSG will return to training on December 5. Twelve Parisian players will fly to Doha with their selection after the reception of Auxerre on Sunday afternoon (at 1 p.m.) and will not be back in action on this date – even in the event of early elimination -. However, this deadline unveiled by Christophe Galtier concerns the rest of the group, which will have benefited from an unusual break of more than three weeks during the season.
“There will be a program adapted to each other during this break, but we will all meet again from December 5”, confided the Parisian coach to the microphone of PSG TV a few moments before starting his press conference. The media present at the Camp des Loges focused on the specifics of the final meeting preceding the Qatari World Cup.
Individualized follow-up before recovery
Galtier also hinted that those knocked out of the World Cup, whether at the end of the group stage or in the finals afterwards, will receive specific follow-up. “Long before that (the recovery of December 5), there will be a personal follow-up depending on the anticipated returns from the World Cup and for some players who will need to work and do not want a long break. »
This strange break will also benefit the technical staff, who will continue their reflections on the team and will observe the players lined up on the Qatari lawns. Galtier, however, revealed that he was going to treat himself to a little pleasure. “On a personal level, I’m going to go to Qatar, a country I’ve never been to, he confided with a smile. I will experience emotions by following three matches, including one of the France team. » A welcome break after the first busy months of play.
