Recovery training and a half-day of rest
The day after the tough friendly test against PSV, PAOK’s players lowered the tempo of their training to make sure that they all fully recover from their exertions ahead of the coming days which will see training sessions intensify.
Thursday (15.07) saw the players at the team hotel, with the weather far from ideal for an outdoor workout on the practice pitches. The coaching staff decided to keep the players there for some weight training, cycling, swimming and massage programs, in an effort to help them recover from their demanding first few days in the Netherlands and the game against PSV, after which the squad were given the rest of the day off.
Vieirinha and Warda, who did not play in yesterday’s match, were the only ones who went over to the training pitches for a workout outside, while Ingason and Douglas Augusto continued their treatment programs.
On Friday (16.07) things will return to normal, with two training sessions scheduled in Apeldoorn at 11:00 and 19:00 Greek time.
