Israeli coach Barak Itzhaki and his team Anorthosis are facing significant challenges in Cyprus, having suffered their second consecutive loss. The team was defeated 2-0 by Omonia Nicosia, placing the once-prominent Cypriot club in 11th place after nine rounds with only two wins against seven losses. The situation is described as "very bad."

According to the fan website "Anorthosis 24," Itzhaki is urged to "find solutions" for the team's defense and their ability to create scoring opportunities. The website emphasizes the need for faster ball movement, better player cooperation, and increased determination in offensive plays. Crucially, Anorthosis is called upon to display more "character and intensity" and to react effectively to game situations.

In the recent match against Omonia, Anorthosis showed some improvement in the second half, matching Omonia's seven threats on goal. However, they failed to recover from an early deficit. A report from "Goal" in Cyprus noted that "the old lady is sinking," indicating a grim outlook for the team.
