Regular season coming to a close…
The mid-week match against AEK was the last remaining rearranged match which PAOK had to play due to postponements because of Covid, and now the Double-headed Eagle are preparing to wrap up their regular season competitive obligations ahead of the upcoming Play Offs.
At the OAKA, Razvan Lucescu and his players were tested to their limits in match conditions with one player less, and they showed character, did not take any risks, but they also had opportunities to leave Athens with a victory. What is certain, however, is that the numerical disadvantage made life difficult for the 10 players who remained on the field, with even greater energy consumption regisered than usual. And so the team had a rest day on Thursday (03.03).
On Friday (04.03) the squad gathered again in Nea Mesimvria in order to start the preparation of the away match against Lamia. Those who started against AEK completed a special workout program based on recovery optimization and fitness. The rest of the squad worked on tactics, ball movement and defensive break-up play.
Nelson Oliveira, continued his personal reintegration program, while he has also started participating in parts of the normal drills with the squad. Alexandru Mitrita trained individually due to his ongoing issue with his left groin muscle.
On Saturday (05.03) PAOK will train at 11:00 in Nea Mesimvria.
