Getting on with the job in hand
PAOK wins and loses out on the pitch. Through the team’s quality and its mistakes. Through it’s strengths and its weaknesses. But, we repeat, on the pitch. That’s how the club won the league title without losing a single match. And that’s how now we are seven points behind the leaders.
But, sadly, at the same time, others insist on trying to play football off the pitch to get results. Why? In order to try and stop PAOK from winning the titles the club deserves, or at least deserves the right to compete for them and we lose fair and square, then so be it.
By now this is a familiar situation. PAOK is called upon yet again to remain unaffected by off the pitch events and to demonstrate its character and personality once more. Going up against the plans of others in matches and in courtrooms.
The Dikefalos tou Vorra needed a big win and solid performance on Wednesday after recent poor results, and the team came through with exactly that against Olympiacos in the first leg of their Greek Cup semi-final tie.
On top of that, the team is aiming, through its technical staff and players, to overturn the deficit in the Super League during the upcoming Play Offs.
Work began in earnest on Thursday (05.03) in Nea Mesimvria. Those players who were in the starting XI against Olympiacos followed a recovery and recuperation training regime in the gym and swimming pool, and also out on the training pitches. The rest of the group spend the whole session outside on the practice pitches, doing running exercises, playing possession games in limited spaces with high intensity, and also did some finishing drills.
Adelino Vieirinha had some minor treatment, Fernando Varela began his injury recovery program, while Jose Crespo and Leo Jaba continued their own individual injury recovery training regimes.
On Friday (06.03) the Dikefalos tou Vorra will train at 11:00 in Nea Mesimvria.
