Departures: Copenhagen
As always, solutions can be born out of problems. This is the reality of football and PAOK have already left the match against Volos in the past and are fully focusing on the match with Copenhagen.
The Danes lead the Europa Conference League group and since the common goal of the two teams is to qualify directly for the knockout stage of the tournament, the game at Parken has taken on special importance.
Razvan Lucescu and his players have some time until the kick-off in Copenhagen to be physically and psychologically ready for a demanding series of matches that require the management of strength and emotions.
On Tuesday (19.10) PAOK trained at Nea Mesimvria which featured a program focused on the tactics that the team will try to implement in Denmark in order to get the positive result the club want.
Jose Angel Crespo continued a special individual training program of increased intensity but he will not be available for the Romanian coach. The squad for Copenhagen is as follows:
Paschalakis, Zivkovic, Talichmanidis, Vieirinha, Taylor, Lyratzis, Varela, Mihaj, Michailidis, Sidcley, Giaxis, Esiti, Douglas, El Kaddouri, Schwab, Biseswar, Konstantelias, Murg, Mitrita, A.Zivkovic, Swiderski, Akpom, Koutsias.
On Wednesday (20.10) the Double-headed Eagle will train at 19:00 (Danish time) at the Parken Stadium, while earlier at 18:20 PAOK’s standard pre-match press conference will take place.
