Aiming to build a run of form
The big win that PAOK were looking for came in the derby at the “Georgios Karaiskakis” and everyone in the Double-headed Eagle camp want to build on it by putting together a winning run of games. Of course, the only way to do this is through hard work and sheer concentration.
The away success in Piraeus, in addition to the valuable points, has served to boost the mood and confidence of everyone in the squad and now the attention turns to the upcoming match at the Toumba against Asteras Tripoli (23.10, 19:30).
The preparation started on Wednesday (19.10) afternoon in Nea Mesimvria. Those who were in the starting XI of the derby clash followed a recovery and rehabilitation program. The rest of the group went out onto the training pitches with the coaches, and after warming up and playing a few games of rondo, they worked on tactics, while there was also a double-header friendly in the final.
No injury problems arose from the «battle» with Olympiacos, while in the good news of the day, Giannis Michailidis finally trained normally with the squad for the first time after his serious knee injury.
Brandon Thomas did some individual work outside on the pitches, while Andre Vieirinha did some physiotherapy and exercises in the swimming pool.
On Thursday (20.10) PAOK will train again at 10:30 in Nea Mesimvria0.
