We can't stop progress, even less just a stone's throw from 2025. You don't even need to go out in the cold anymore…
Louis Mouton, at a press conference before Saint-Etienne – Montpellier, revealed the existence of a new process for training players during the week: that of virtual reality which “helps quite a bit in gathering information”, according to the young Greens midfielder (22 years old) returned this summer from his loan to Pau. “There is a helmet for the players, I think it is since this year. We are in a match, and depending on our role on the pitch, we have balls to play and we have to make the right decision, know where your teammates are to make the right passes and get the right information.”
“It calculates how many times you turn your head correctly, not just if you turn it for the sake of turning it”
The person concerned previously explained that he had nevertheless progressed in training with colored cups to identify, in short, much more old-fashioned, but he therefore sees himself obliged to also keep up with the times. And it doesn't seem to bother him at all, perhaps also because he comes from a younger generation: “It calculates how many times you turn your head correctly, and not just if you turn it for the sake of turning it… For me, it's twice a week, but I think it's the same for almost everyone.”
So, teleworking soon also for players? Without further details at the moment, we imagine that this software was developed specifically in collaboration with the clubs so that the result is as immersive as possible, much more advanced than software intended for the general public which is a real hit in the different leisure areas. A bit like F1 simulators whose secrets remain jealously guarded within the teams, and which undoubtedly have nothing to do with video games despite their increasingly astonishing realism.
