Giorgos Georgiadis is trying to instill his own philosophy and identity to PAOK’s game through his daily training sessions. The head coach of the “Double-Headed Eagle” insists on the movement of his players on the pitch. He wants his players to approach more frequently the rivals’s box, as lately their creative game has been found wanting, and also he wishes for his team to avoid conceding soft goals.

Tuesday’s training session focused on tactics both in defence and attack. The drills consisted in improving the team’s movements when they have the ball on their feet and when they defend.

Răzvan Raț returned to Nea Mesimvria and went through a recuperation session. Giannis Skondras trained normally, while Alexandros Tziolis did physiotherapy, as he complained of a sore groin due to the intensive trainings.

Ricardo Costa did physiotherapy, strengthening drills and proprioception exercises with ball and jogging, while Hedwiges Maduro went through a physical condition session.

Wednesday’s training session is scheduled to start at 17.00 at Nea Mesimvria.
