High winds at Nea Mesimvria were the reason behind the change of venue for PAOK’s training session on Friday.

The session, that was held in Toumba, focused entirely on attacking tactics, deployment and finishing and concluded with a training match. Apart from instructions on deployment, the coaching staff insisted on correct finishing and scoring goals.

Christian Noboa returned in time from international duty and expressed the wish to train alongside his teammates, despite his obvious fatigue from the matches with Peru and the long flight.

Răzvan Raț trained normally, while Ricardo Costa and Hedwiges Maduro worked apart from the rest. Dimitris Salpingidis continued his recovery program and is expected to start training in 10 days, after his condition is reevaluated.

Saturday’s training session will start at 17.00 at Toumba Stadium and afterwards the team will head to “Makedonia Palace” hotel, where they will spend the night.
