Double training session
Despite the absence of internationals, work goes on at PAOK, as they have to get ready for a tough schedule ahead.
There were two training sessions on the menu on Thursday at Nea Mesimvria. In the morning, players went through physical condition and muscle strengthening drills, while they engaged in tactical work in the evening with ball passing exercises in reduced space. Igor Tudor and his staff want the players to adjust to his philosophy as soon as possible.
Dimitar Berbatov participated in the evening session. The Bulgarian forward followed the warm-up routine and then was treated to a personalised program under the guidance of Paolo Artico. PAOK’s new signing will return to Bulgaria to handle some personal issues and he is expected back at Thessaloniki on Saturday 5 September.
Stefanos Athanasiadis remained in the gym out of precaution due to a small inflammation of his injured toe. Terry Antonis and Gojko Cimirot continued their recovery work. Friday’s session is scheduled to start at 18.00 at Nea Mesimvria.
