OM prepares the final sprint. Second in the Ligue 1 ranking with only two points ahead of the fourth and four on the fifth, the Marseille club made the decision to isolate itself far from Marseille for a one -month internship in Italy. Indeed, the Marseillais will remain in the vicinity of Rome and will only return to France to play their last matches of the season.
Under the impetus of Roberto de Zerbi, the players will settle down at the Hotel Cavalieri Hilton, a five -star establishment nestled in a large Mediterranean park, a few minutes from the historic center of the Italian capital, far from the commandery, according to the Gazzetta. In total, around fifty people will fly to Italy this Tuesday afternoon, in a long-term and unprecedented greening for a Ligue 1 club.
One million euros!
The choice of this prestigious framework is not trivial. The objective is obvious: to offer the best conditions to strengthen group cohesion, far from the usual pressure, in an environment conducive to concentration. However, this decision also implies a substantial financial investment.
According to information from the team, the cost of this Italian internship could rise to € 1 million. Indeed, at night in a double room in this luxury hotel amounts to an average of 800 euros. Certain consequences, even more sumptuous, can even largely exceed this price. With a Marseille delegation which has around fifty people, the total cost of this stay could come close to the million euros for a full month.
It is a high amount, but which is part of a performance logic. OM hopes to make the most of its players before decisive deadlines.
