Scenarios upon scenarios, for the eleven in Paphos
When Apollo announced the hiring of Bogdan Antone, many question marks were “born” such as… whether he will change the composition of his new team, or if will try to “activate” a player who under Constantinos Makridis played little to nothing.
Regarding the formation, the answer came in the interview given by the Romanian coach to Apollo magazine, as he mentioned that although he prefers 4-3-3, he will try to adapt with the existing roster. Also, as for whether he will make surprising choices… that's something we'll find out in the next few matches. in his debut the 48-year-old technician will be deprived of the services of a total of seven footballers. This is undoubtedly a negative development for the “blue and white”, as well as something that increases the question marks in view of how the Limassol team will line up in Paphos.
Starting from the defense, not counting Vukasin and Alesami, the latest news is that Mavrias will be missing again, at the same time that Roberges returns. The favorite to replace the Greek full-back is Filiotis, since Ekpolo is still behind in game pace, with Hamas keeping his position on the left and Peiburns probably flanking his compatriot in the center of defense.
Further complicating matters is who will flank Spoliaric in the centre, as Sahar, Kohl, Hussain, but even Zradi (again playing box to box) will be out. Hambos is back, but he is coming from two months of inactivity, while Iliev can be considered an option as well, who we saw again moving in this position against Zorniger.
In addition, since they are absent Va and Josten, we have to say that the Bulgarian international is also an option for the wings, with Pitta and Donio also applying, so that they can be on one of the two wings. In the other, Warda will be a given, while in case the formation remains with two forwards… then unexpectedly two of Pitta, Donio and Hedy will be selected (yes, maybe we will see all three starters).
< p>More or less, for those who try to make a safe prediction, the eleven in Mr. Antone's debut looks like a puzzle, as the data was formed… the Romanian coach is called upon in the first year to “overcome” his team's competitive problems and then the Akrita.
