2016-2017 pre season training news

[Dutch Eagle]

If the SL does not start this weekend PAOK might play a friendly against Xanthi.

[Dutch Eagle]

According to paokfc.gr we are playing tomorrow at stadium Pigadia against Xanthi at 19:00 GR time.

Looks like a game for the numbers 14-25 of our team as it is within 48 hours after our away game in Georgia.

[pash]

Assuming our unused subs from the last game play (which I guess is not a sure thing)...

 

                   --Brkic--

--Kitsiou--Varela--Malezas--Giannoulis--

     --Tziolis--Dimitriadis--Korovesis--

      --Jairo--Koulouris--Mistakidis--

 

 

Interestingly enough, if it's a no-go for them then we can almost field a complete team with players in their normal positions:

 

                     --Vellidis--

 --???--Varela--Pouggouras--Giannoulis--

       --Tziolis--Dimitriadis--Korovesis--

          --Jairo--Koulouris--Pelkas--

 

I'm having trouble keeping track of how many players are still considered part of the "senior team," and which of the youths have been loaned out. I guess we'll see if any K20s are called up for this. I also am assuming Jairo will start in this, although I think Mistakidis and Pelkas are both better than him (and would rather see them start).

Squad for the friendly against Xanthi:

 

[PAOKSYD]

Hanging to see brikic play.

Against ajax in warm up he looked like a real mountain followed by a top performance against atromitos for us to win the league glykos wont cut it

[Blackhawk]

I think after Glykos has his first bad game, Brkic will take over as no. 1.

[PAOKSYD]

I would like ivic to use the fact thay we have already qualified versus dinamo to tedt him out in that game and use that as the excuse to make him number 1.

For me the tzioli ousting shows ivic, michel and savvidis clan are all on same page.

[Dutch Eagle]

Xanthi - PAOK will not be broadcasted. Hope there will be some video as there sometimes are scored brilliant goals just like that from Klaus at Atromitos.

[Dutch Eagle]

According to Serbian media PAOK might play a friendly in Belgrade on september 3rd as teams have no duties in the League (if SL ever starts) as the national teams play qualifiers for WC2018.

[pash]

The friendly vs Xanthi ended 0-0, here's some highlights:

 

 

[Blackhawk]

Couple pre-season friendlies for PAOK this week:

Tomorrow we play Veroia away. 20:00 GR kick-off time

On Saturday we play Doxa Drama away. 20:00 GR kick-off tiem. PAOKtsaki and Olympic medalist Korakaki will be honored by PAOK, Doxa Drama, and the city of Drama.

[pash]

This has chosen the #7 (not bad for a loanee) and has already practiced with the team, but is unlikely to play in our next friendly. We may see him vs Doxa Drama.

[Dutch Eagle]

Line-up for the game against Veria:

Η ενδεκάδα του ΠΑΟΚ: Μπρκιτς, Κίτσιου, Κρέσπο, Πούγγουρας, Μάτος, Μπίσεσβαρ, Κάνιας, Πέλκας, Περέιρα, Κάμπος και Αθανασιάδης.

Στον πάγκο για τον Δικέφαλο είναι οι: Βελλίδης, Κοροβέσης, Λέοβατς, Τζοβάρας, Δεληγιαννίδης και Δημητριάδη

 

Looks a bit like the Scottish League. At the end of the season we have played 325 times against them: a coupe of friendlies, two for the SL, two for the kypelo and two in the play-offs. 

[pash]

It's a great lineup. Lots of firepower out there. Agreed on us playing these guys way too often.

[Blackhawk]

From leading 2:0 it is now 2:2. Klaus and Campos scoring.

[Blackhawk]

2:2 final score.

Ivic used this lineup:

Brkic, Kitsiou, Crespo, Poggouras, Matos (46. Leovac), Biseswar (76. Tzovaras), Canas, Pelkas (76. Dimitriadis), Campos (76. Deligiannidis), Athanasiadis, Pereyra (62. Korovesis)

" Σφαίρα στον Βαγγέλη Μαρινάκη, Κορακάκη Κορακάη" φωνάζουν οι οπαδοί του ΠΑΟΚ!!! 

 

[BostonThanatos]

Looking at that lineup, I'\m a little disappointed they didn't call me to play right winger...

[pash]

Yeah, and the bench isn't any better

[Dutch Eagle]

At half-time they are going to find some Pokemon around the stadium.

You are to old to join them
