Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Godswill Ekpolo

61 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. AE Kition lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Đorđe Ivanović beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings

Vintage Gustavo Ledes — 7.86

At 34 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.86, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

Tempers go at AE Kition

Jorge Miramón was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at AE Kition training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dimitris Chatziisaias 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.

Market

One of our own: Kyriakos Merkis joins the AE Kition first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Kyriakos Merkis is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Match

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 86 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon AE Kition had all but put away. Ermis will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Loan watch

Christodoulos Thoma wants to come home

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

The dugout

Gilles Lentz dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

In brief
