First training in Oosterbeek
The start of the week was rather tough for PAOK players. After their early rise and trip to Oosterbeek, they also had to go through a 100-minute training session.
First part of the session was all about recovering from the flight and the bus ride. Petar Milkanović , who has assumed duties as rehabilitation coach for the preseason’s main stage, oversaw 15 minutes of power training.
Born on 12 July 1978, the Serbian fitness coach has a degree from Belgrade University, specialized on football and also has the UEFA A license. He worked at FK Rad and FC Banants in Yerevan. From 2012 to 2015 he worked as fitness and rehabilitation coach at Serbia U20s who won the FIFA World Cup U20 in 2015.
He was also the physical condition coach of Serbia tennis team for the Davis Cup from 2013 to 2015. He works with former No1 tennis player Jelena Janković on her physical condition.
The rest of Monday’s training focused on ball possession games and quick transition drills from defence to attack and vice versa, with Vladan Ivić insisting on speed.
Djalma Campos remained in the hotel out of precaution and followed a decompression program, as he was exhausted from the journey. Tuesday 5 July signals the start of double training sessions for the players of PAOK.
