Possession games and mini training match
On the first days after summer vacation, trainings focus on the adjustment of players to preseason. Intensity is picking up gradually and the… tough stuff will start on Monday.
The main characteristic of first trainings is the presence of the ball throughout the session after the warm-up. On Friday (23 June), PAOK players worked on ball possession and passing on a pitch with five goals. Then they held a training match of 10v10 on a reduced pitch.
Diego Biseswar was the new face on Friday. He followed part of the session and didn’t play in the training match, along with Fernando Varela, José Ángel Crespo and Djalma Campos who sat out for decompression reasons. Stelios Kitsiou followed a special program in the gym, due to a dental procedure.
On Saturday (24 June), PAOK players will split into two groups. Kitsiou, Limnios, Varela, Lévêque, Crespo, Cañas, Athanasiadis, Konstantinidis , Malezas, Leovac, Pelkas , Pouggouras, Charisis and Chatziisaias will go through ergometrics and the rest will train at 10:00 in Nea Mesimvria.
