Eyes on the prize
There is only one sole objective for the week that has just kicked off, and that’s qualification in the Europa Conference League. That is where all the work and energy of the PAOK squad is focused on.
On Monday (09.08), the team’s training session was focused on tactics mainly on the creative aspects, with build-up play from the back om the menu, as well as applying intense amounts of pressure on the ball to regain possession. At the same time, the defenders worked separately, carrying out several drills to simulate match conditions and how to deal with various types of attacks.
The last part of the program included a free game on a small pitch. Nelson Oliveira took part in most of the training session, as did Jose Angel Crespo, who is in the process of gradually returning to action. Rodrigo, who overcame the blow he received in Saturday’s training session, also trained normally with the main group.
Douglas Augusto followed a high-intensity individual program, and Ingi Ingason continued his fitness and strenghth-building program.
On Tuesday (10.08) PAOK will train again at 09:00 at the club’s Nea Mesimvria training base.
