Back to the rhythm of… pre-season
Razvan Lucescu and his associates aim to make the most of the international break and use the available time to their advantage, so that the PAOK squad builds up a head of steam ahead of the big Super League kick-off, as well as for European games in the Europa Conference League groups.
Wednesday (01.09) saw the players do a double training session day. In the morning the focus of the program was on fitness, as well as some drills to practice tactics.
In the afternoon session, it was all about the football. The coach gave the players a few pointers and they were called on to apply them through a set of exercises, as well as in a mini friendly match in the final part of the session.
Omar El Kaddouri continued to receive treatment for his injury, Rodrigo Soares did a workout on the practice pitches, while Ingi Ingason remained in the gym for a special strengthening program.
On Thursday (02.09) the players will once again have a double workout, with training scheduled for 09:30 in the morning and then again at 18:30 in the afternoon in Nea Mesimvria.
