Training friendly against Panserraikos
PAOK had a useful workout in a training friendly match in Nea Mesimvria against Panserraikos, a game which gave Razvan Lucescu and Cristiano Bacci the opportunity to see their players in action for the first time this season.
Both coaches tried two different starting lineups, one in each half, and were able to draw some useful conclusions for the rest of their respective pre-season programs.
The history of the friendly match was written in the first and last minute. Hatsidis opened the scoring in the first minute, after Pelkas had stole possession and assisted, while Kiril Despodov took advantage of Balde’s excellent pressure on the opposing goalkeeper and scored with a shot on the move to make it 2-0, just a few seconds before the end of the match.
PAOK starting lineups:
Pavlenka, Kenny, Michailides, Kedziora, Baba, Ozdoev, Meite, Pelkas, Taison, Hatsidis, Mythos.
Gugesashvili, Sastre, Bataoulas, Lovren, Taylor, Mady, Meite (55′ Tsopouroglou), Balde, Despodov, Shoretire, Chalov.
