Passing practice
In away encounters against rivals such as Olympiacos, accurate passing under pressure can be decisive. That’s why PAOK players spent Friday’s training session practicing it.
Friday’s training session consisted of reduced-space matches, 5-2 drills and positioning games under pressure. The main instructions issued by the PAOK coaching staff were quick pace and one-touch moves.
Nikos Korovesis didn’t participate in the training, as his MRI revealed a 2nd-degree strain in the right hamstring. He is expected to return to action in 4-5 weeks.
Giannis Mystakidis followed a personalized program with ball drills, as did Charis Charisis for the first time since sustaining his injury. Νikos Melissas trained apart from the other goalkeepers due to calf pains. Panagiotis Glykos, Garry Rodrigues, Marin Leovac and Jairo continued their respective recovery programs.
Saturday’s training session of PAOK will be held at Toumba Stadium and is scheduled to start at 14:30.
