Time for the cup decider
A comeback, a win, especially in the way that it came about, the overall performance, and even the management of the game and opposition, all give PAOK the confidence needed ahead of a “final”.
Because, without wanting to sound too cliché, such is the match against AEK. The second leg of the quarter-final tie at the OAKA will decide who progresses to the last four of the Greek Cup, which is one of the Double-headed Eagle’s key objectives for the current season.
Razvan Lucescu and his players have only two days to rest and then prepare, so the work started in earnest on Monday (07.02) morning in Nea Mesimvria. The players who started against Panathinaikos did a special recovery program. The rest of the group worked on fitness and tactics through ball movement exercises. Omar El Kaddouri, and Nelson Oliveira, continued their special individual programs.
Jasmin Kurtic, who collected his fourth yellow card in the last match, will be suspended for the next Super League Interwetten match against Ionikos.
On Tuesday (08.02) PAOK will train at 11:00 at the Toumba.
