Speed, passing, and tactics
The countdown to the upcoming European clash against Besiktas continues, with the PAOK squad stepping up their preparations for the big game.
After Wednesday’s (19.08) much-needed day off, players and coaching staff returned to Nea Mesimvria to roll up their sleeves as the preparations for the match against Bestikas enter their final stages.
The training session included work on all fronts. Things kicked off with emphasis on fitness through some running and sprint exercises. After that, the players were split into two groups. While the first group did passing game and finishing drills, the other played out a game of possession football. The final part of the program saw the players involved in a friendly match against each other on 2/3 of the pitch with some specific tactical instructions.
Douglas Augusto received some treatment and continued his individual training program. All of the Covid-19, tests which were submitted by all squad members on Tuesday (18.08) came back negative and all of the players training normally.
On Friday (21.08) the PAOK players will be back in for training again at Nea Mesimvria at 10:00.
