PAOK coach worked on his tactics and the system he will use on Tuesday, a 4-4-2 formation with two clear-cut forwards. The players of the “Double-Headed Eagle” worked on their defensive strategy and their deployment, with Aleksandar Stanojević asking them to press up high and disrupt their rivals’ passing, a characteristic of his philosophy.

Against AFC Tubize (kick off at 19:00, Greek time), the Serbian coach intends to field two different line-ups for two reasons: his players’ fatigue from their tough trainings and his wish to test their level of readiness. Giannis Mystakidis and Željko Brkić continue their recovery process and will not feature in the match.

Tuesday’s training session is scheduled to start at 11:00 in the installations of ParkHotel Horst.
