OM coach André Villas-Boas is in favor of concluding the current exercise. Even if it means ending the season in December to better keep pace with the pace that the 2022 Winter World Cup will impose.
We turn everything upside down! This is the recommendation of an André Villas-Boas who, contacted by RMC this Friday evening, suggests that the current Ligue 1 season ends next winter. In December possibly. ” All the clubs are in a catastrophic economic situation. It’s very difficult, he emphasizes. We begin to think that the most viable would be to finish this season in November-December and continue on a civil calendar from 2021 until arriving in 2022 and the World Cup in Qatar. Then we’ll have to go back to a normal schedule … “
The next World Cup is scheduled from November 21 to December 18, 2022, the OM coach suggests that the two championships to come after the current exercise be played in the calendar years 2021 and 2022 to better link with the Qatari World Cup . A not so far-fetched idea, which would allow the 2019-2020 season to end without haste. Even if a return to normal after two full years played according to this configuration seems very difficult to implement.
In contact with the players
In the meantime, André Villas-Boas considers these concerns “ secondary right now ” The technician, who joined Portugal to observe his family confinement, despite the distance and isolation, strives to maintain contact with his players. ” My staff talks with them about the preparation and the program we gave them. I try to be in touch with them to find out how things are going for them. Several players stayed in Marseille. We had made a program for the first 15 days of confinement. Several players have easily found equipment, others are in apartments and it is a little more difficult. But the most important thing is health. They are all good, their families too “, He concludes.
