PAOK is starting from a better starting point in this mini-preparation compared to the summer preparation, Razvan Lucescu pointed out in his statements after the end of his first friendly match against Ashdod.
“The plan is very simple. Training sessions and two more friendly games in between, so that we can keep up the pace and give the players minutes to play. It is important for the players who missed the last part of the first round to get playing minutes and to improve things in our operation to maintain the image we showed in the last part of the first round.” said the coach of the North Doubleheader and went on to answer a question about whether the team starts with better conditions now compared to the summer:
“It’s something completely different, but the facts in the summer, completely different now. We are in a better place in terms of the way we play and the atmosphere that exists. Our goal is to improve and maintain these things. It’s a completely different situation, if in the summer we were talking about a group of 11-12 footballers who knew exactly what we wanted, now we’re talking about a larger number who have adapted and understood exactly what we want”reported and concluded about the friendly:
“We saw things, I liked the way we kept possession and created chances. It was a good training session if you can call it that, we created chances with good football and we continue“, he said.
