Keeping faith in the plan
“Victory can come in the first minute, but it can also come in the last minute.” This is something that Razvan Lucescu is at pains to repeat to his players, insisting that they have faith in their potential and in the plan they are asked to follow.
The second leg of the Greek Cup quarter-final clash with AEK was one of those cases where PAOK had to chase their luck and wait right until the end. And as it turned out, PAOK celebrated an important qualification that keeps the club on course to achieve one of its key goals for the season.
For now, however, PAOK are now leaving the cup to one side and focusing on their next challenge, this weekend’s league match against Atromitos.
The good news for the Romanian coach is that he does not face any fresh injury problems other than that of Nelson Oliveira, since Omar El Kaddouri has also returned to full training. Friday’s (11.02) training session was focused on ball movement, fitness and tactics.
On Saturday (12.02), PAOK will train at 11:00 at Nea Mesimvria.
