Back to Work For Les Bleus et Rouges

Well, we have the start of the PSG Season with a 10 day Pre-season training at Stegersbach,Austria 

Like everyday since pre-season training started, Wednesday was another busy day for the PSG squad. They met up at 9:45 at the Camp des Loges for training. For more than an hour and a half, the squad got a solid physical and tactical work out in the summer sun of Saint Germain en Laye. After lunching together, the team headed to Paris airport to fly to Graz.  After a brief 20-minute delay due to the weather, the PSG players were soon on their way to Austria.

The two-hour flight was the chance to play cards, watch a film, read or simply relax. It wasn't until around 19:00 that the Parisians finally touched down in Austria. A few supporters were waiting for Les Rouge et Bleu at the airport. Photos and autographs were the order of the day before jumping in the coach to the hotel, about 45 minutes from Graz. This first pre-season training camp also offers the first chance to get to know some of the new faces, such as Mike Maignan, Adrien Rabiot, Abdallah Yaisien, Jordan Ikoko, Alvin Arrondel and Younes El Baillal who all travelled with the pro squad.

"The voyage was great. I'm delighted to be going on camp with the first team. We're going to work very hard to prepare as well as possible for the new season. I signed my first pro contract on Monday, but for me, this is just the beginning of my career. It isn't over now, far from it!" declared Adrien Rabiot.  

During the next ten days in Austria, Les Parisiens will have plenty of training sessions as they continue their preparation. They will also play two friendly matches, the first on Wednesday 11 July against Stegersbach and the second on Saturday 14 July against CSKA Moscow.
