The Aris players will have the opportunity to catch their breath before the league resumes, as Michalis Grigoriou has decided to give them a four-day break, having already turned his attention to the away game against Asteras Tripolis on Monday, November 23 (5:00 p.m.), for Matchday 11 of the Stoiximan Super League.
The “Yellows” trained at a particularly high intensity on Thursday, with the program including neuromuscular activation, transition drills, speed-strength exercises, and small-sided games. For today, Friday, active recovery is scheduled, and afterward the players will have the opportunity to recharge before returning to the team’s facilities at noon on Tuesday, November 17.

The bulk of Grigoriou’s work focuses on defense, as the Greek coach aims to correct the mistakes that have cost Aris dearly in previous matches. In training, special emphasis is placed on positioning, covering for one another, and cooperation among the defensive players, so that the team can achieve greater cohesion and limit the easy scoring opportunities it concedes to its opponents.
The Aris coach is working with the center backs as well as the players covering the two flanks of the defense, seeking to improve their communication and coordination. The goal is to field a more solid defensive unit in Tripoli against an opponent that will demand focus and attention.
