Conference League
Kantouri determines the shape of PAOK how the Velontrom scorer can alter the data
Having Kantouri in the starting line-up against Marseille seems to be the only thing on Razvan Lucescu’s plans.
Razvan Lucescu has the opportunity to complete final tests in training, which will complete PAOK’s preparation for the big game tomorrow (April 14, 10:00 p.m., COSMOTE SPORT 2HD and LIVE on Sportish) against Marseille in Toumba.
The Romanian coach has committed to the regular approach to the game with the Massalos in all previous training sessions and will continue to do so in the current one, set to take place in Nea Mesimvria.
As much as the PAOK coach is used to making corrections from game to game, this time it seems the beans are “counted”. If there’s a chance of something changing in the starting XI compared to the first game, it will have to do with the inclusion of Omar El Kaddouri in the starting XI.
The problem for Razvan Lucescu is what will change in his squad, giving a nod to the Moroccan, who played at the velodrome in the second half of the game and scored the goal that kept Dikefalos’ hopes alive of qualifying for the next stage Base jersey gave the Conference League.
In the first game in France, El Kaddouri took Tsigara’s place in the 46th minute, his coach placed him in the “ten” position and brought in Douglas Augusto alongside Jasmine Kurtic. A move that proved crucial as the Brazilian changed the image of Dikefalos and El Cantouri’s midfield, which did much to help move the ball but also shape it. Starting PAOK in the second quarterfinals with the team that played in Velontrom in the second half is possible, but at least it didn’t “fix” before the last training session.
Because it should not be ruled out that PAOK will start with the same trio in midfield with Kurtic, Tsigara and Augusto and Omar El Kaddouri will start instead of Diego Biseswar. In that case, the Moroccan will be on the left flank and Augusto remains in the role of promoted midfielder, where his coach has been using him extensively this year.
Omar El Kaddouri will represent the PAOK players at the press conference and will also speak to Razvan Lucescu about tomorrow’s match against Marseille, to be played in Toumba at noon today (2.15pm).
