Preparations for Panathinaikos, and a first training run-out for Taison
With a new face in Taison, who trained for the first time with his new teammates, the PAOK squad began their preparations for the first leg of their Greek Cup quarter-final tie against Panathinaikos, which takes place at the Toumba (18.01, 20:30).
Only a few hours after the game against OFI, players and technical staff started work in earnest on the next challenge.
And so the PAOK camp gathered for their training appoinrtment in Nea Mesimvria. Those players who were in the starting XI against the Cretans DID SOME recuperation work in the swimming pool and the gym.
For the rest, the program playbook included a warm-up, a possession game, some tactical exercises involving pressing and transitions, and a mini-friendly game in the finale.
Omar El Kaddouri, Filipe Soares and Marios Tsaousis all did individual programs on the practice pitches. Nicolas Quagliata did some running work, Thomas Murg received some treatment and did a program in the gym and swimming pool, while Jasmin Kurtic continued the special recovery program that he has been following.
On Monday (16.01), PAOK will train again at 17:30 in Nea Mesimvria.
