Asked about this point during one of his last press conference as a PSG coach, Thomas Tuchel explained that it was not possible to do physical preparation in early January due to lack of time. While PSG plays at the end of January only one match per week, a quiet pace to which he is entitled only a few weeks per season, the new coach Mauricio Pochettino took the opportunity to improve the physical condition of a workforce that has enormously suffered from the lack of pre-season preparation.
In L’Equipe, a relative of a player recently testified about the current period and he confirmed that the week is used to bring the workforce up to level on this point: “We feel that the staff is preparing. Probably to be on top physically against FC Barcelona. Great importance is given to physical work. ” It is in particular Sebastiano Pochettino, son of, who is in charge of these intensive sessions which now take place in the morning and more in the afternoon as the players had obtained from the previous staff.
Once this week of physical preparation is over, PSG will then not have much time to prepare in this way since the match in Lorient this Sunday will launch a new marathon of matches. Between January 31 and February 21, Paris will play seven matches in three weeks, a sustained pace that it knows well. With several big pieces on the program for February: OM on February 7, Barça on the 16th and AS Monaco on the 21st.
