Marked for Dimitris Irodotou

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

73 days out for Sotiris Foiniris after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Doxa will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Igal Bekker

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The dugout

Chrysostomos Filippou keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Doxa may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

A falling-out at Doxa

Ernest Asante and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings

Savvas Christodoulou was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Kostakis Antoniou was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Doxa dressing room was either.

Squad

Words at Doxa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lysandros Papastylianou is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Andreas Nikolaou

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 14 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

The dugout

No hiding place for Dimitris Irodotou

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Dimitris Irodotou, and the manager let it.

In brief

Squad

Sotiris Foiniris breaks a bone — 81 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 81 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

André Lucas keeps Doxa in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The dugout

Ioannis Katsiamis: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Doxa have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings

Ernest Asante beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 24. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Patrick Moura wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Doxa can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad

Ernest Asante in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Doxa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

312% of the income goes out in wages at Doxa

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Match

Doxa come up short against AEZ Zakakiou

AEZ Zakakiou left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Loan watch

Diyar Shamuzov wants to come home

“I did not go to Chalkanoras Idaliou to sit and watch. I want to come back to Doxa and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 15 matches say the rest.

In brief
