The team will once again take to the pitch in Greece on Thursday but this time in Thessaloniki. The EL group stage match will be played on Thursday evening. Manager Marko Nikolic and Anel Hadzic attended the press conference at 19.45pm at the Toumba stadium with around 25 journalists present.

"We need to perform well in the next EL game as we did in London for example against Chelsea. However, we now need to pick up some points. If we do not pick up points against PAOK tomorrow and also in the match in Budapest against them, our chances of going through will slip away. We can take a big step towards second place with a win. PAOK are a very good team and we know that their supporters will create a great atmosphere inside the stadium. We will need to play without mistakes and as I have said earlier, out team are real fighters and they will do all they can on Thursday evening" - commented Marko Nikolic.

"This is the first time that I play against PAOK, who I consider to be strong. I feel that we have prepared suitably over the last few days and I hope that we will play a good match. We have shown earlier in Europe that we are not afraid of anyone. We can take up the battle with any side" - commented Anel Hadzic.

Vidi's training session started at 20.30pm with the first 15 minutes open to the media.
