AEK Larnaca prepares for league season with training camp in Greece

AEK Larnaca is currently in Greece for a series of friendly matches as part of their preparations for the upcoming Cyprus League season. Following a recent 3-0 victory against Karmiotissa and a narrow 0-1 defeat to Omonia Aradippou, head coach Mauro Camoranesi is utilizing these fixtures to evaluate his roster and refine the team's tactical identity. The friendly match against Asteras Tripolis at the Theodoros Kolokotronis Stadium on August 12 was highlighted by the coaching staff as a crucial test to assess the team's performance under increased pressure.

During the training period in Tripolis, Camoranesi has been focused on addressing defensive cohesion and ball movement efficiency. The squad for the Asteras match included players such as Paraskevas, Van der Hoorn, and Milicevic, while Sabotic was excluded due to illness. The club has also finalized the acquisition of Kerim Mrabti to bolster the midfield, effectively concluding their search for reinforcements in that area. The team is scheduled to hold a final training session in Greece before returning to Cyprus to complete their preparations for the official league opener.
