The two “must” for the team to advance

Ομoνοια: Aναγκαiα… ενδοσκoπ&eta ση και μετεγγραφΕς ΙανουαρΙου /></p> <p><strong>Optimism and pessimism in sports border on each other. Many times these two feelings are separated by a thin line. After the quartet of consecutive victories, fans of the “greens” who recovered believed in the team more, while some especially happy beings were eager for the derby with APOEL, urgently asking for victory. At least that's what they wrote on social media.</strong></p> <p>And before you could say yes, disappointment came. Omonia, in the most crucial match of the season so far, appeared like a wreck, collected what it gave and (on social media) the hexapsalmos began.</p> <p>Omonia in the 16 matches of the championship did not show the necessary competitive stability, played average football, but was effective</p> <p>With the completion of the 16th matchday, Omonia is in third place with 32 points, the same as “Paphos FC”, Aris. In essence, she is in the ranking position which largely reflects her competitive dynamics. And of course he has not derailed from any goal. What he claimed before the derby, he claims now. In the 16 matches of the championship, Omonia did not show the necessary competitive stability, played average football, but was effective, while in some matches it had a very good reaction.</p> <p>After the derby (of course) comes the necessary… introspection. The first thing to be interpreted is the image of the team especially in the first part. It is unimaginable what the world saw. The cause for this indescribable picture must be identified. For forty-five minutes the team faltered. Why; That the proper spiritual preparation was not done is the most likely version. It's not meant for the players to enter the field… scared and disorganized.</p> <p>Also there was no effort from the bench to fix things. Not even during the break was there an intervention by the coach in the nervous centre. The …concussion seems to have extended to the counter as well. So the first (in time) question is the “why” of the non-existence.</p> <p>The teams that have leading goals have rosters with depth, so that they can respond to matches in Cyprus and Europe (this does not apply to Omonia this year) and find solutions when they have injuries or suspensions of footballers. For Omonia, something like this is a luxury. In the report, I never hid my concern, (and the general one), on the subject even after the matches that Omonia was winning. And not without reason. Any other approach would be hypocritical on my part (luckily I've never had that “ability”) because it doesn't take any special knowledge to predict that the team will soon be exposed. As it happened. Injury problems, cards and absences due to the Africa Cup of Nations intensify the shallowness of the roster.</p> <p><strong>Attack, center</strong></p> <p>Offensively, the most consistent forward, the highly capable Andronikos Kakoullis, has been … drained since he essentially plays, (almost non-stop), by himself. Had he not been injured, this overworked youth, burdened with a heavy burden of responsibility, would probably have suffered from overwork. With Karim Ansarifard a constant presence, fortunately Saidu Alum was found to lend a helping hand. But this kid performs better on the edges. Wherever the team needs him. Especially now that Willy Semedo is also leaving. Conclusion: A striker is absolutely necessary for Omonia.</p> <p>In the center area there are only four players who can pull a paddle. Yiannis Kousoulos. Fouad Bashirou, Roman Bezos and Charalambos Charalambous. Then….nothing.</p> <p>On the subject of the goalkeeper, let's wait, because the landscape is still not clear.</p> <p><strong>The heavy contracts</strong></p> <p>There are also footballers whose offer so far is very meager. The report is about Karim Ansarifard, Veliko Simic, Moreto Kasama, Alexander Franson, Panagiotis Zachariou. Five football players. And there are also heavy contracts between them.</p> <p><strong>Merry Christmas to all and above all health, humanity and kindness.</strong></p> <p><noindex></p> <div class=Source: www.kathimerini.com.cy
