Training and Lisbon schedule
On Friday evening they were on the pitch and on Saturday morning they returned there. The game against SL Benfica is approaching and PAOK players need to be ready for a tough test and a huge challenge.
After FC Basel and FC Spartak Moscow, the “Double-Headed Eagle” must deal with the obstacle presented by a powerhouse of European football, in order to qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Răzvan Lucescu and his troops are perfectly aware of their task’s difficulty level. However, they have proved they can cope with everything that comes their way.
On Saturday, their training focused on build-up from the defence and overall tactical approach of the game.
Omar El Kaddouri continued his recovery program and his participation in the Lisbon game is getting highly doubtful.
PAOK will train on Sunday morning in Nea Mesimvria and they will board their chartered flight to Portugal in the afternoon.
Their Monday session is scheduled to start at 21:00 in “Estádio da Luz”. Earlier, at 20:15, Lucescu will be in the press conference room. Fernando Varela will accompany him, representing the players.
