To at the start of the World Cup (November 20 – December 18), Ligue 1 is preparing for a month and a half break, which Stade de Reims will use for regeneration.
Apart from Junya Ito, selected for the World Cup with Japan, and several youngsters who will continue the season with the Pro 2 group, the professional workforce will be on a two-week vacation from tomorrow. ” Since the situation is unprecedented, it is difficult to say whether the reduction will be beneficial, says William Still. Today, the players feel normal fatigue for the middle of November, but there is nothing to worry about. We will have to plan new preparations, even if the players are subjected to individual work during the break. »
The continuation of training is scheduled for Monday, November 28, probably accompanied by physical and medical tests, before the training camp scheduled in San Pedro del Pinatar (Spain) from December 2 to 9. ” The choice of place meets several criteria, explains the coach of Champagne. The first is the weather that guarantees a mild climate and quality lawns. Then, the proximity of the sea gives an impression of disconnection, while you are in a bubble. I have already been there with Saint-Trond and Standard de Liège, there is comfort with hotels near the ground, a fitness room, but no distraction is possible. »
A few friendly matches
A friendly match should be organized at the ground on December 8 before the return to Champagne. Several preparatory meetings are being completed, notably on December 16 in Charleroi and perhaps on December 21 in Reims, a week before the resumption of the championship (December 28 or 29) against Rennes. ” The idea will be to continue the rhythm of the competition by giving minutes to everyone, continues the Belgian technician. Then we will return to the familiar working environment. »
