Cyprus club Anorthosis, which had high expectations following the appointment of Israeli coach Barak Itzhaki, is currently in a critical phase of its season. The team began the season disappointingly and hoped Itzhaki would provide a boost, but results have been mixed. Itzhaki secured a win in his first match against Omonia Aradippou (2-0), but the team has since lost two consecutive games to AEL Limassol and Omonia Nicosia.
During the current international break, Anorthosis is preparing for its next league match in ten days against bottom-of-the-table Karasava, a team with only one win this season. Cypriot reporter Katerina Kyriacou analyzed the team's situation, stating Anorthosis is at a "critical crossroads" and seeking points while prioritizing "mental tranquility." Itzhaki aims to shield the team from pressure and panic.
Itzhaki is focusing on the upcoming game, emphasizing a game-by-game approach to build the team and accumulate points gradually to move away from the relegation zone. The strategy involves viewing each match individually rather than as part of a continuous sequence.
