Design and Cypriot Players
According to all estimates, Omonia is expected to make a large number of transfers again this year, with the team having cast nets in the foreign market to draw players from there to strengthen the roster.
He has already brought in two non-Cypriots (Evantro Costa, Yiannis Masouras), while the information about further reinforcements tends towards players of the same category. That is, foreigners or community members. Of course, it is still too early to draw conclusions about the presence of the Cypriot element in the potential.
Now you will tell me, but isn't it the foreign market that everyone is targeting? Why do you only refer to Omonia? It goes without saying that the foreign market is where everyone is looking. But since, based on the facts, in recent years there has been a special relationship between Omonia and the Cypriot element, it is worth saying a few things.
We recall two facts. Omonia is the only team among the leading players to use key Cypriot footballers on a consistent basis. Children who have sprung from her bowels. In particular and … more football. They have emerged through the work done collectively in the team transforming themselves from talented youngsters into quality options. Yes, Cypriot quality options! Not a common phenomenon, but in Omonia we find it to a satisfactory extent. This is exactly what makes Omonia different from the others. The special relationship mentioned.
It is also the only group among the protagonists that systematically states that its goal is to promote and maintain the Cypriot element in its potential. That the Cypriot player is her priority. The fact that everyone else does it opportunistically and depending on the occasion screams the deafening reality.
With this in mind, it remains to be seen how many Cypriot players will be added to the roster, and how many will eventually be included. in the …multinational arsenal.
At the moment, the team includes Andronikos Kakoullis, Loizos Loizou, Yiannis Kousoulos, Nikolas Panagiotou, Charalambos Charalambous, Konstantinos Panagi, Charalambos Kyriakidis, Panagiotis Andreou, Tahsin Ozler, Konstantinos Pantelis. It is possible that other young people will also “step up” to go to the first stage in the preparation.
With regards to young people in particular, the world is excited about the effort made in recent years and is eagerly waiting to see their promotion in the sense of providing opportunities. The bakery exists and is here. The transition to the first team is not an easy thing. In addition to work (without which nothing is done), a coach who has it is needed. For example, Henning Berg.
And something else that unfortunately few (either coaches or agents) understand properly. The young Cypriots are the continuation of the team. Here we are talking about history.
Besides the players we mentioned, let's look more fully at the “green” Cypriot element. There are also the returning loanees, such as Angelos Neofytou (however, Sassuolo has the right to buy the player), Alexandros Kaifas, Andreas Christou, Nikolas Kyriakidis, Andreas Asimenos.
Let us also remember that they left Panagiotis Zachariou, Michalis Papacharalambous, Paris Psaltis Belonged to the roster of the completed season but so far no local footballer has been added to it.
The stimulation of the Cypriot element (meaning quality element) is the stated position of Omonia . Let's see what we will see in the sector this year.
