Squad

Efthyvoulos Tryfonos 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 Digenis Morfou this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Giorgos Pontikos falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Giovanny Ávalos wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Digenis Morfou know it.

Squad

Kostakis Konstantinou out for 24 days

The medical room confirms 24 days on the sidelines for Kostakis Konstantinou, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout

Grigoris Antoniou gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Stylianos Kallenos

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Themistoklis Themistokleous rescues a point for Digenis Morfou

It needed Themistoklis Themistokleous to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against PAEEK, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout

Constantinos Alexandrou: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 2‑2 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout

Yan Philippe left out for tactical reasons at Digenis Morfou

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The dugout

Aladje N'Djai: 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.” Digenis Morfou have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Lenos Sofroniou rejects the move

Digenis Morfou had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Aris, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Digenis Morfou

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Match

Javier Siverio the difference as Digenis Morfou beat Ethnikos Latsion

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Javier Siverio. 3‑2 against Ethnikos Latsion, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Ilyas Baig

Digenis Morfou asked and Akritas Chlorakas said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A row about effort at Digenis Morfou

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Giorgos Pontikos was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Agustín Lucero

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

One of our own: Kostakis Konstantinou joins the Digenis Morfou first team

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

Market

One of our own: Valentinos Georgiou joins the Digenis Morfou first team

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