Match

Omonia 29M are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 34 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market

Reda Kharchouch says no to AEZ Zakakiou

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Reda Kharchouch had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market

Michael Morais puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Omonia 29M, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Angelos Zefkis says Omonia 29M went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Boardroom

Omonia 29M close the window on a squad of their own making

1 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad

Toplica Grbović 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 Omonia 29M this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Omonia 29M rebuffed over Yacine Bourhane

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Aris have kept their man, and Omonia 29M go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

Borja López 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

Toplica Grbović runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

Michael Morais keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Omonia 29M may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Nils Schouterden 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

Lorik Emini 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 Omonia 29M this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Looking ahead

The big one: APEA Akrotiri come into view

Two sides from the top of the table, one afternoon, and a month of talk decided in ninety minutes. Omonia 29M will not use the word title this week and will not stop thinking it.

The dugout

Steve Ambri gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Steve Ambri is on it.

The dugout

Aleksa Jovanović knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Aleksa Jovanović trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
