Anorthosis, coached by Israel's Barak Itzhaki, is in a deep crisis after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Omonia Nicosia. This loss marks their second consecutive defeat, following Itzhaki's initial win in his first game.
After nine rounds in the Cypriot league, the once-prominent club is in 11th place with only two wins and seven losses. The situation is described as looking very bad.
According to the fan website "Anorthosis 24," Itzhaki is tasked with finding solutions for the team's defense and chance creation. The site emphasizes the need for faster ball movement, better player cooperation, and more determination in offensive plays. Crucially, Anorthosis needs to show more character and intensity, and react better to game situations.
Despite registering seven shots on goal, similar to Omonia, Anorthosis showed improvement in the second half but failed to overcome an early deficit. Cypriot media outlet "Goal" noted that "the old lady is sinking," indicating a lack of convincing performance despite some offensive threats.
