Pavlidis draws attention off the pitch with AZ link in Thessaloniki | OneFootball

Vangelis Pavlidis has liked and shared a social media post featuring AZ Alkmaar at a football academy in Thessaloniki, underlining his continued bond with the Dutch club.

The Benfica striker, who is not in his best spell, remains attentive to AZ matters, the side he represented before joining Benfica. According to Glorioso 1904, the moment again showed that closeness.

The Thessaloniki academy staged an event attended by AZ, including a presentation on the club’s structure and philosophy. The session covered modern training methods and player development.

Pavlidis reacted quickly to the post, leaving a like and sharing it on his own account. The gesture nodded to ties on both fronts.

Born in Thessaloniki, the Greek striker has kept strong roots in the city despite never playing for PAOK, its historic club. He also looks back with pride on three seasons at AZ Alkmaar.

This season for Benfica, Pavlidis, valued at 32 million euros, has featured in 47 official matches, 27 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 14 in the Champions League, three in the Taça de Portugal, two in the Taça da Liga and one in the Supertaça.
