Lucescu can make both Zampa and Colak

Leo Zampa scored in his first appearance after returning to Toumba and celebrated like crazy. The goal he scored against Panetolikos came about 1000 days after the previous one – 1046 to be exact – from the previous one he scored wearing the Dikefalos shirt in the away game against Panathinaikos in the double season on March 3, 2019. In a match that scored with 47΄ and made the final 2-0 in favor of his team and was sent off with 71΄.

Today’s goal marks the effort he has made to get back to the level he was before his serious injury. It was logical that he ran to celebrate in the arms of Razvan Lucescu. He has all his hopes on him to be the old… Zampa again.

The footballer who with the tremendous physical ability, the blast and the speed that set him apart and his ability in “one on one” that set him apart. For the 52-year-old coach, Leo Zampa’s fall is a big bet that will bring multiple benefits to PAOK should they win. The truth is, if there’s a coach who can pull it off with the Brazilian, it’s Lucescu

We all admit the Romanian is ‘metric’ when dealing with his players. He has shown us many times that he can convince them to do their best when they need it and that he is able to boost his confidence so that they give 100% back to him on the field.

Rolling on the pitch with Zampas to celebrate the goal that sealed his side’s victory is the least the PAOK coach can do to get the Brazilian’s career back on track. From the moment she believes in him, she will support him with all her might. Above all, the interest of his team.

Totally estranged, Zampa left Toumba to go on loan to Brazil. When PAOK wanted to review their intentions last summer, they ruled out the possibility of returning to Thessaloniki before the loan to Vasco da Gama ended.

Now he’s back and, in addition to his family and a coach, is expressing his determination to reach the level he was…

He can also do tsolak

Antonio Tsolak also left PAOK estranged. The Croatian’s first half in Toumba was really disappointing. After his successful move from Malm. it is logical that the Swedish team is his priority.

Lucescu admitted that he heard more about Colak and saw another footballer in training. If the 28-year-old has brought back a different footballer than the one who left badly for Sweden, it’s up to the Romanian to convince him that PAOK is the best possible prospect for his career. The Croatian was sure of that when Dikefalos bought him in Rijeka in the summer of 20 for 3.5 million euros.

He goes… Mr. Rodrigo

Lucescu isn’t the magician who turns Rodrigo Soares into… Cafu, but he manages to convince the Brazilian to fulfill his plan even in the final game of his PAOK career.

Fugitive Rodrigo, who has long known he is not in the Romanian’s plans, who has already reached an agreement with Dikefalos on a contract termination and search for his next team, proved today – as he has from day one coming to Toumba is – that he is an impeccable professional and a very good character. He might not have taken on PAOK, he might not have been the player who couldn’t be replaced at Dikefalos’ back, but he wasn’t indifferent or problematic.

On his departure from PAOK he played on the left end of defense obviously because Vierinia and Siddklay couldn’t make 90 minutes and although he suffered in the previous period himself he turned his back on this difficult period which is his team. That’s why Lutsescu gave him a hug at the change and praised him for his behavior in his statements after the game against Panetolikos.

PAOK also brings a midfielder with them

The gains made by PAOK in their first game of 2022 by defeating Panetolikos were numerous. What is certain is that Dikefalos is in a dynamic process of changes in his squad as well as in the way he moves on his transfers, which mainly has to do with the hiring of Jose Boto.

The new sporting director of Dikefalos has already taken his first step, characteristic of his methodology, with Joan Sastre and is already ready for the next one, which will affect the midfield axis. Developments are expected immediately, perhaps in the next few hours.
