With Omonoia being -10 from the first place in the standings and far from the minimum goal, exit to Europe, Yiannis Anastasiou made his debut at the home of the champion Aris.
In that game, the majority had lost the greens who, against all odds, left Limassol with the double. A result which was a springboard for the continuation, as shown by the actions of the Greek coach so far.
The game between Omonoia and Paphos will be the sixth in league and cup for Anastasios. What if the only cup match with AEZ is out of the frame due to the difference in capacity between the two teams, what can one say about the other four derbies!
Omonoia with Anastasiou on the bench managed to close the gap from first place to five points by winning in order Aris, Anorthosis and APOEL. The only defeat was by AEK at GSP, in a game that admittedly the greens fell short.
Even so, one cannot help but credit the coach for his work which is clearly visible on the pitch. Essentially, Giannis Anastasiou managed to “read” not only his own team but also the opponents. This is the key point for his successful course so far in a very difficult phase with demanding and high-paced games.
Semedos is coming, its people are mobilizing
The preparation of the greens for the match with Paphos FCcontinues in the absence of several internationals. With their return after the end of the international obligations, Anastasiou sets for good for another difficult game. It is clear that if Omonia continues with victories against the promoted Paphian team, then it improves the conditions even more to climb higher in the standings and – why not? – to claim the title as well. We remind you that the pioneer APOEL is hosted by the second AEK. The pleasant result is the given return of Willy Semedo ahead of the next match. The African's record is there, so the fact that he will be available to coach again is extremely positive news. As well as the presence of the team's people in the stands. It was said from official lips that in the match against Paphos, the crowd will be more massive than the previous home match against AEK.
They turn a blind eye to programming
As the season draws to a close, it is logical that more and more publications refer to renewals or even transfers. It is possible that in Omonoia they have set up a plan led by Yiannis Anastasiou and Valdas Dabrauskas regarding the above, nevertheless the goal is to make any final moves after the end of the season . At the Omonoia offices, they want to keep the footballers completely focused on the game, leaving them unaffected. Especially now that the team is in good momentum.
