Tactics and finishing
All of the international players returned to the club and Razvan Lucescu has all of his players at his disposal in order to create his master plan for the opening match of the 2021-22 Super League Interwetten against PAS Giannina at the Toumba (12.09, 19:00).
Goals – and lots of them – were the main subject matter of training on Thursday (09.09) in Nea Mesimvria, with the coaching staff also giving guidance to the players on build-up play.
After the necessary warm-up and the always popular rondo, the players performed some tactical exercises with the emphasis on build-up play, while in the final part of the session they focused on finishing practice.
Rodrigo Soares trained normally with the team again. Omar El Kaddouri underwent some treatment, while Ingi Ingason worked alone on the practice pitches and back in the gym. Finally, Andrija Zivkovic remains in quarantine under Serbia’s health protocol after testing positive for Covid-19 while on international duty.
On Friday (10.09) PAOK will train at 18:00 in Nea Mesimvria.
