Tactical instructions and confidence
Self confidence. A phrase word that you will often hear from the mouth of Razvan Lucescu as a necessary ingredient in a ‘winning mentality’ that the PAOK coach is aiming to build. It’s actually something much more than a word. More a way of thinking and living. To believe in yourself and your potential.
Confidence is an absolute must in view of the second leg clash with Rijeka in the Europa Conference League Play Offs, and Lucescu is trying hard day in and day out to instill it into his players through the training and work being done in Nea Mesimvria.
Work in Sunday’s training included tactics, ball movement, and finishing, but also in general on the competitive mentality that PAOK must have in order to achieve its goals both within and beyond the country’s borders.
Rodrigo Soares, who has started treatment for his injury, did not participate in Sunday’s (22.08) training session, while Ingi Ingason, who is continuing his rehabilitation program, also did not take part.
On Monday (23.08), PAOK will train at 09:00 at the club’s Nea Mesimvria training center.
