Filiotis sees his labors pay off
He was acquired in the summer of 2020 to flank João Pedro at right-back, making 15 league appearances (most minutes) in his first year. The following season we had the great departure of the Portuguese, who was replaced by Haris Mavrias…
Due to consecutive injuries, Helladites was somewhat delayed in offering his services, with Filiotis giving his credentials as an Apollon footballer for the first time. Under the instructions of Alexander Zorniger, he significantly helped in the impressive first round of the “blue-and-whites”… the season in which they were crowned champions.
His good performances did not go unnoticed by the managers of the Limassol club who renewed him last May until 2024. And although in the summer of the same year another right back (Cabral) was acquired, without having a departure in this position, he himself proved that he remains an extremely valuable option.
In a mediocre year for his club, the international full-back has been quite consistent and while the highlight has undoubtedly been the last quarter, where he has linked his name with his team's upward trajectory. Bogdan Antone made him permanent at the right end of the defense and he is justifying him with his very good performances. Clearly improved, the 27-year-old now performs equally well in defense as well as in attack, with his crossing clearly improved.
Of course, the reward for Filiotis does not stop at club level, as for second time in a row he is on the calls of Timur Ketspaya. Albeit belatedly, he seems to be establishing himself in the selections of our federal coach, with his next goal being to make him permanent in the first eleven. are competing in the same position as him or even from the fact that he was out of the national team for a long time… the right back of Apollo sees his efforts bearing fruit.
