PAOK Friendly Games

[italosPAOK4]

-Με αλλαγές το β΄ημίχρονο, έξω οι Πέλκας - Μάτος, μέσα οι Κοροβέσης - Κίτσιου για τον ΠΑΟΚ.

-62΄έξω ο Μπρκιτς, μέσα ο Βελλίδης και ο Ματθαίου στην θέση του Κλάους με τον Τιάμ να περνάει στην κορυφή της επίθεσης.

Game is being paused, probably due to the smoke issues

[pash]

Players literally getting stripped by the home fans. Things must be rough in Serbia.

[Dutch Eagle]

Great goal of Partizan. 

The game was a big fiesta. And propaganda for friendship in football.

[Blackhawk]

Friendly against Panserraikos tomorrow at 15:00 EET. It's an official friendly (tickets sold, etc.) as opposed to the last week's one against Agrotikos Asteras (4:0).

Glykos, Klaus and Leovac will sit this one out. Glyskos and Leovac to rest for the Fiorentina game, while Klaus has a minor injury.

[pash]

Currently up 0-1, header by Pelkas.

[pash]

I'm just tuning in to metropolis now. Apparently we have a ton of cards already.

Here's the lineup, btw

[pash]

(five yellows in a friendly, wow)

[pash]

Pereyra, Biseswar, Shakhov in for Koulouris, Canas, and Pelkas

[pash]

Goal Pereyra, 0-2

[pash]

Whole rest of the team is coming on... Poungouras, Malezas, Mistakidis, Kitsiou, Thiam, Charisis, Korovesis

[pash]

0-3, Thiam

[Blackhawk]

We have two friendly games coming up this week.

Wednesday, August 9, 2017 - 20:00 EEST:  PAOK - PAS Lamia1964
Game will be played without fans and will be televised on Cosmote TV in Greece and most likely on PAOK TV oiutside of Greece. Reports are that the second string players play in this game.

[Dutch Eagle]

Looks like Crespo got some injury. He is out for the friendlies.

[Blackhawk]

Players selected for tomorrow's game:

Ρέι , Λέοβατς , Μάτος , Βαρέλα , Μαλεζάς , Σάκχοφ , Τσίμιροτ , Κάμπος , Μακ , Ενρίκε , Λημνιός , Πρίγιοβιτς , Κόζακ, Μίσκοβιτς, Λύρατζης, Μούτσα

The rest of the players will practice at Nea Mesimvria.

[Dutch Eagle]

Biseswar is injured. Again. Leovac is unjured too. Both will miss the friendlies of today and tomorrow.

[Dutch Eagle]

Selected for the game against Lamia are only Greek players and Kace who is living already 100 years in Greece:

Σιαμπάνη , Μελίσσα , Κωνσταντινίδη , Πούγγουρα , Κάτσε , Λημνιός , Πέλκα , Αθανασιάδη , Κουλούρη , Δημητριάδη , Δημητρίου , Χατζηδίμπα, Τζοβάρα, Τσαούση και Γκαργκαλατζίδη.

[pash]

Talk about being thin on defense. Though I actually kind of like the idea of a Poungouras/Dimitriou duo. This team does not look like a second string team; this is more like a set of third stringers.

I had to do some research to figure out what position most of these guys play.

Δημητριάδη - AM

Δημητρίου - CB

Χατζηδίμπα - CM

Τζοβάρα - CF

Τσαούση - LB

Γκαργκαλατζίδη - CF (excellent name btw)

 

I'm really not sure how this team would line up...I don't see any right wingers there, and our glut of CFs implies to me that we'll see a 4-4-2. Maybe something like the below?

                              --Siampanis--

--Konstantinidis--Poungouras--Dimitriou--Tsaousis--

                        --Kace--Hatzidibas-- 

       --Pelkas--                                   --Limnios--

                        --Koulouris--Klaus--

 

 

 

As for the injuries - it sounds like all three injuries (Crespo in addition to Dutch Eagle's post) are very minor and the players are being held back so as not to risk them. I'm not worried yet.

[pash]

And here's the lineup for today's match. I really hate these animated tweets. This one won't be shown on PAOKTV, will it? Behind Closed Doors could mean so many things!

 

[pash]

Prijovic scored in the first minute with an assist from Mak

 

-edit- Giannina has scored as well. There is indeed a radio link: http://www.metrosport.gr/radio

Nikolia 1-1 for PAS.

[Dutch Eagle]

Tomorrow the PAOK - Lamia-game will be available for free on PAOK TV outside Greece!!!!

in Greece it will be on broadcasted on Cosmote TV.

[Dutch Eagle]

The PAS game restarted now after a break to drink something

[pash]

Sounds like they're really parking the bus. Good opportunity for us to see if we can finally learn how to break down these kinds of defenses.

[Dutch Eagle]

Second ball on the post/crossbar for PAS.

And right after that HT, 1-1 the score.
