Cyprus's Anorthosis football club, under Israeli coach Barak Itzhaki, is facing a challenging period despite initial hopes for a turnaround. Itzhaki, appointed with expectations of revitalizing the team after a disappointing start to the season, secured a win in his debut match against Omonia Aradippou but has since lost two consecutive games to AEK Larnaca and Omonia Nicosia.
During the current international break, the team is preparing for their next league fixture in ten days against bottom-ranked Karmiotissa, who have only one win this season. According to Cypriot sports website "Balla," reporter Katerina Kyriacou described Anorthosis as being at a "critical crossroads." The team is reportedly seeking to achieve points by prioritizing "mental tranquility," with Itzhaki aiming to shield the players from pressure and panic.
Itzhaki's strategy focuses on concentrating on each upcoming game individually, rather than viewing the season as a continuous sequence. This approach aims to gradually accumulate points and move away from the relegation zone.
