The Kifisia Courier

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market31 Jul 2028

Marko Kerkez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Kifisia can pretend not to have heard.

Market31 Jul 2028

Tomáš Franěk is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Kifisia has been clear about where Tomáš Franěk stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad31 Jul 2028

Thanos Sitmalidis signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Thanos Sitmalidis commits to Kifisia for another 4 years.

Squad31 Jul 2028

Lefteris Choutesiotis asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad31 Jul 2028

Yasser Larouci has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Yasser Larouci keeps the shirt for now, at Kifisia's convenience rather than his own.

Market31 Jul 2028

Phoenix Scholtz joins Kifisia on a free

No fee and no drama: Phoenix Scholtz has signed at Kifisia, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.

Match13 Nov 2027

Kifisia taken apart

0-3 to Olympiacos, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Vasilis Athanasiou keeps Kifisia in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match15 Nov 2027

Kifisia sink to position 12

9 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Arthur Barbosa: 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.” Kifisia have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match13 Nov 2027

No end in sight to Kifisia's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Kifisia has to find a result from somewhere.

Market15 Nov 2027

Mohammed Al-Khaibari asks to leave Kifisia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Kifisia lose Jeremy Antonisse

15 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad19 Jul 2027

The manager makes an example of Liridon Kalludra

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market19 Jul 2027

A long bet from Kifisia on Thanos Sitmalidis

He is 19, and nobody at Kifisia signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
