Summer preseason, part two
After a necessary two-day break, players and coaching staff returned to work, with a morning training session in Nea Mesimvria marking the beginning of preseason’s stage two.
Răzvan Lucescu’s players had to deal both with the high temperatures in PAOK FC training centre and a very demanding menu set by the coaching staff.
Training started with warm-up and possession games and then the players took turns working in groups. While one was practicing tactics with the coach focusing on attacking deployment, the other would go through physical condition drills with the trainers. The session concluded with a training match.
Yevhen Khacheridi and Omar El Kaddouri trained normally. Léo Jabá followed the first part of the session and then worked on his own. Thibault Moulin stepped out on the pitch for the first time since sustaining his plantar fascia injury and started reintegration work with jogging. Dorian Lévêque also trained apart from his team-mates.
There is a double training session scheduled for Saturday in Nea Mesimvria, at 09:30 and 19:00.
