Bananas Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 Some solid friendlies there to test out the boys. Good to see.
pash Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Looks like someone tested positive for COVID and is in quarantine. The rest of the team, minus the internationals + Ingason, have had their first session:
Blackhawk Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 According to the reports the player with covid did not travel to Thessaloniki and is in quarantine in his country. With that in mind and looking at the pictures of training I don't see the following players: Varela, Soares, Augusto, Schwab, Murg, Ninua. Take your pick
Blackhawk Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Apparently two other pre-season games while in Holland will be announced soon: Heracles Almelo and Charleroi FC.
pash Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Charleroi is the team Nini went to after (or before?) us, I think? Such a close connection! -edit- training vid released. Soares is there around 1:47. Perhaps Augusto is the one who's sick? I wonder who the guy wearing the #24 is (he shows up a few times at the beginning). Very likely the same kid who was in preseason last year - I believe he was/is part of our youth setup but wasn't allowed to actually play because as a refugee he didn't have some sort of documentation?

paokarag4 Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Yeah spotted Varela, Murg in the video and Schwab was in the Instagram story. So it would appear Augusto and Ninua where the two missing.
Blackhawk Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Augusto it is. "Hopefully" he does he does have COVID and it's not another attempt by him to get released.
Blackhawk Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 The last two pre-season friendlies have been confirmed by PAE PAOK. Here is the list of our friendlies: 09-July, 19:00 EEST: PAOK - NFC Volos (Toumba Stadium) 14-July, 21:00 EEST: PSV Eindhoven - PAOK (Philips Stadium) 17-July, 14:00 EEST: PAOK - Royal Charleroi SC 21-July, 15:00 EEST: PAOK - Heracles Almelo 25-July, 15:30 EEST: Feyenoord Rotterdam - PAOK (De Kuip Stadium)
Dutch Eagle Posted July 1, 2021 Author Posted July 1, 2021 The venues of the friendlies against Charleroi and Heracles are not mentioned. I will take a look at the websites of the clubs if they mention anything. What is mentioned is that the two games are without fans. Edit 1: nothing mentioned on the websites of both teams. What I did saw is that Charleroi starts the Belgian leagueseason the 24th of July so they will be a good/ready opponent when we play them. Edit 2: Heracles is the club of Orestis Kioumourtzoglou.
Blackhawk Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 PAE PAOK released a statement saying that the games against Charleroi and Heracles will be without fans and warned everyone not show up to watch the games or they will be cancelled. This leads me to believe that the games will be played at the training facilities that PAOK is using for pre-season training.
pash Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 So the games are def being cancelled then. Hope they hire security.
pash Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Looks like the Volos game will be in paoktv (as if there were any doubt!)

Blackhawk Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Well who would pay to basically see a training session.
pash Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 I dunno, I'm more excited about this than I am for the Euro 7pm local time? Perfect for me - noon!
Dutch Eagle Posted July 9, 2021 Author Posted July 9, 2021 No Kagawa, El Kaddouri and Pereira today in order to avoid injuries. inpaok.com stating that the game starts 19.30 EEST. Therefore 30 minutes later. No confirmation on that on paokfc.gr though.
pash Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) El Kaddouri got his contract so why be healthy any more? Good to see that slob Kolkas is providing color commentary. -edit- initial lineup posted, 4-4-2 https://twitter.com/PAOK_FC/status/1413515479826636805/photo/1 Edited July 9, 2021 by pash
Dutch Eagle Posted July 9, 2021 Author Posted July 9, 2021 Tom van Weert opens the score with a header for Volos. Gordezianis equalizes a few minutes later
pash Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 That guy's gonna crush it for them this season, just wait and see
pash Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 Lucescu nearly getting into a fistfight at the end there is exactly the Lucescu I remember
