Apollo: Friendly… with benefits

Must read

The positives that arise after the match against APEA

Απoλλων: Φιλικo… με οφeλη /></p>
<p>Bohdan Antone wants his footballers to be alert, with Apollon facing yesterday (14/04) in a friendly game that took place at the training center of the “Blues” APEA.</p >
<p>Last year's champions beat the Akrotiri side 2-0 thanks to goals from Patrick Josten and Ido Sahar. The goals in question are expected to help the two players mainly in the psychological part, however the most remarkable result is that they counted valuable playing minutes for footballers who recently played little to nothing.</p>
<p>It was probably Basel Zradi's inclusion in the starting line-up that stood out the most, with the Lebanese having been sidelined since February 9 due to a back problem. The fact that he returned to action is certainly very important news for the Romanian coach, since the 29-year-old midfielder on his good day proved that he can make a difference.</p>
<p>Also notable was Ejaz Hussain getting a shirt, who is the only January signing… that we haven't really seen yet. With the exception of two brief appearances, due to his lack of pace, the 30-year-old midfielder has not had any opportunities so far. Therefore, the fact that he played in yesterday's friendly is expected to help him to raise the stakes.</p>
<p>On the positive side, it is also noted that the 48-year-old coach threw several youngsters into the game, because if he stays at Colossi… it is very important to know the skills and outlook of the academy talent, with yesterday's match no doubt a good opportunity. It is also worth mentioning that most of the footballers who are considered as main options did not compete at all, with Iliev being the big exception.</p>
<p>In short, we can say that this particular friendly only did Apollon good, with Bogdan Antone to draw several conclusions ahead of the final stretch in the championship.</p>
<p>The eleven against APEA: Dimitriou, Mavrias, Zenonos, Kondylis, Sahar, Husain, Iliev, Digini, Hedi, Zradi and Josten.< /p> </p>
<p>Who played as a substitute in the second half: Loizou, Fotis, Economidis, Augusti, Pontikos and Ba.</p>
