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.

Crucially, Anorthosis is called upon to display more "character and intensity" and to react effectively to game situations.
