The classic between OM and PSG is fast approaching. This Sunday, at the Vélodrome stadium, Marseille receives the Parisian club as part of the fifth day of Ligue 1.. The Phocaeans remain on a defeat against Real Madrid (2-1) in the Champions League, while PSG continues on its momentum with a successful success against Atalanta (4-0).
This shock promises to be crucial for the race at the top of the championship, and all eyes turn to the tactical choices of Roberto de Zerbi. But the Italian technician must already deal with sensitive absences: Geoffrey Kondogbia is forfeited due to a calf injury, and Nayef Aguerd remains uncertain after his Commotion Protocol.
A “ritiro” to revive
But “RDZ” already thinks of the after PSG. To refine his work and strengthen the group's cohesion, weakened by the consequences of the fight between Rabiot and Rowe, the Italian technician has planned a precise strategy. The Marseillais will find Rome, after two stays in April and May, for a “Ritiro” focused on the collective, as reported The team. Monday morning, the day after the classic, they will fly to Italy and train on the Roma City FC facilities.
The workforce is expected to return to Marseille on Thursday, in time to prepare for their next Ligue 1 meeting against Strasbourg on Friday evening. Between injury management, mental and tactical preparation, this Ritiro may well be the key to relaunch OM in the podium race and continue to set up the famous De Zerbi strategy.
