Over the past two days, Didier Ollé-Nicolle has moved the training of his players from Bougival to Camp des Loges.
The goal: to work on a synthetic field in order to get used to the conditions of the match in Fleury, this Sunday (2:45 p.m., Canal + Sport duplex), in Fleury, for the 15th day of the championship.
Nineteen returning internationals
To make matters worse for the business of the Parisian coach, he had to deal this week with the gradual returns of selections from… 19 internationals.
So many players had left that last week, there were only three left in training: Charlotte Voll, Estelle Cascarino and Aminata Diallo.
"This truce did not come at the right time because I really had the feeling that we were in a real rise, with the matches of Saint-Étienne (5-0), Lyon (3-0 in the Cup ), Guingamp (6-2), Dijon (5-0), said the coach on Thursday morning.
We felt a team taking the opponent by storm, with a real collective and a somewhat typical team that had taken shape.
So I hope that this cut will not have created too much fatigue.

His mission to compose a team according to the states of form of each other will not be easy.
And yet the stakes are not neutral for the Parisiennes.
Since the defeat in Lyon (6-1) in mid-November, in the midst of the tumult of the Hamraoui affair, PSG no longer has the right to make the slightest misstep in D1 Arkema if it wants to hope to keep a chance of a title at the occasion of the return match.

However, Ollé-Nicolle can count on the intact motivation of his troops and make use in particular of the beautiful dynamic of his tricolor internationals who shone during the Tournoi de France, starting with Marie-Antoinette Katoto.
The striker will once again be the best attacking asset of her team, she who became, before the break, the best scorer in the history of the club.
"We can't lose a single point"
In the first leg, Paris easily won (5-0).
But it wasn't on Fleury's synthetic.
“Fleury is a big opponent compared to his ranking (4th) and the fact that we will be on a synthetic and not one of the best in France, notes Ollé-Nicolle.
You know that in the league you can't lose a single point until the end to have the opportunity to play the league final against Lyon, two games from the end.

Above all, a big month of March awaits the Parisiennes with a quarter-final of the Coupe de France in Montpellier (5th) and a quarter-final of the Champions League against Bayern (March 22 and 30).
"So to have very important deadlines in May, we know that this month of March is going to be decisive and that we will have to do without fault", summarizes Ollé-Nicolle.
