Yes he got injured at the end of the game. Hopefully it's not serious.

4:0 Konstantelias

Ricardo 3:0. Nice goal after a great Kaddouri cross.

Unbelievable. Flare thrown on the pitch in a pre-season friendly game. No doubt by a PAOK fan.

Oliveira with the first goal of the season.

Quite a few spectators at the game.

4:0 loss to Italy today. Last game against Portugal in 2 days.

2:1 loss to Turkey in the opening game. In the other game for the group Italy beat Portugal 1:0

First training sessions in Appeldorn today. Andrija Zivkovic did not travel to Holland as he came down with a fever. The fear was that he had COVID, but tests were negative. He will join the team in the next few days.

"Big Daddy" is here. Officially announced. One year loan from Benfica.

The draw for the UEFA Women's Champions League was today. PAOK Women's team was drawn in Group B in the Round 1 of the competition. PAOK will face Swansey Ladies (Wales) in one semifinal and if they win they will face the winner of the other semifinal game between Ferencvaros (Hungary) and Glasgow Rangers (Scotland). Group B games will take place in Thessaloniki on August 18 and 21.

During today's Superleague 1 meeting, the Olympiakos owner Vaggelis Marinakis was voted in as the new Superleague 1 president. The vote was 9 in favor (Olympiakos, Aris, Atromitos, Ionikos, Levadeiakos, PAS Giannina, Tripoli, Panaitolikos, OFI), 5 abstentions (PAOK, PAO, AEK, Lamia, EPO), 1 no show (Volos). Of interest is the fact that all that 8 of the 9 teams voting for Marinakis received a sponsorship from Marinakis based company Shopflix about two months ago. Initially there was only one candidate prior to today. That was Papaioannou from Lamia, but today all of a sudden he withdrew his candidacy and Marinakis right away entered his. Lamia also received a sponsorship from Shopflix, so it was not that hard for them to step down.

4+1 for Kotarski. Signing should be announced any minute. Kargas cost the team 250K. Donis is an interesting case. Under normal circumstances no Donis of any kind should be linked to PAOK again. However, he is represented by Rogon (Koutsiolakos). The same firm represents Tsolak, Murg and Pelkas. This whole thing smells of a deal that involves all those players. Donis is probably thrown in as part of the overall deal.

Dantas is here: In his first remarks he said among other things that he has been playing with Felipe Soares since he was 4 years old:

Youngsters showing up at yesterday's practice were: Tsioptsis, Balomenos, Marovic (all keepers), Zilo, Koulierakis, Panagiotou, Tsaousis, Tzimas, Konstantelias. Missing from yesterday's practice was Jaba who asked for an extra week vacation. Rumors are that he is looking for a team in Brazil. I'd say let's close the Jaba chapter and tell him not to even bother returning to Thessaloniki at all.

Schwab signing is good news, as long as he is not paired with Kurtic and does not play 60 game per season. Kargas is closed and was told to show up for practice on Friday. Dantas loan is also done deal and is travelling to Thessaloniki tomorrow. I have a feeling these two will be officially announced tomorrow or Friday. Also, Kotarski is supposedly to sign with PAOK on Friday. We are also apparently close to signing Khaled Narey.

It was mentioned today during the presentation that the minimum capacity will be 35,000. The final capacity will be determined during the design stage.
