The Olympique de Marseille shocked Italy by deciding to extend its green setting in Rome, according to Guillaume MP, correspondent for Eurosport. OM players left Marseille to meet in Rome to prepare calmly for the end of the season, with the aim of welding the group and staying focused on the Champions League goal. However, this decision led to misunderstanding in Italy, the country of the Marseille coach.

OM is currently fighting for a place on the Ligue 1 podium, and this prolonged green setting in Rome aims to strengthen the links between players and help them focus on their goal. However, some observers expressed doubts about this method. Stephen Bruna, guest of the Moscato Show on RMC, expressed reservations about this decision: “At this stage of the year, I would have been drunk. Living 24 hours a day together can also create tensions. I feel that De Zerbi is doing this to escape the Marseille environment.”

This strategy could have setbacks, because living together 24 hours a day in a climate of intense sports pressure is not without risks. Psychological wear and tear, promiscuity and lack of connection with relatives can produce the opposite effect of the expected effect.
